The chapter "The Science Question in Feminism" by Kerstin Hamilton features three prominent female scientists: Lise Meitner, Lidija Liepiņa, and Liisi Oterma. Meitner, a physicist from Austria and Sweden, discovered nuclear fission but declined involvement in the Manhattan Project, stating her opposition to bombs. She was nominated for the Nobel Prize 48 times but never won. Liepiņa, a chemist from Russia and Latvia, was part of the team that developed the first Russian gas masks during World War I. She became the first Latvian woman to receive a PhD and the first woman to become a professor in the USSR. Oterma, an astronomer from Finland, was the first Finnish woman to obtain a PhD in astronomy. She discovered over 200 small planets and three comets, including the comet Oterma, and later became the director of the Tuorla Observatory.The chapter "The Science Question in Feminism" by Kerstin Hamilton features three prominent female scientists: Lise Meitner, Lidija Liepiņa, and Liisi Oterma.
