In 1906, I turned to Max Planck at the university of Berlin to help teach me, but women couldn't be enrolled in the university. Max told me that it was fine to come and study for a semester and my father agreed to pay for it

Although I was apart of the group and helped discover nuclear fission, Otto Hahn was the only one who received the nobel prize for our discovery
