Sisters in Science tells the true story of four women during WWII and their escape out of Nazi Germany. In the 1930s when Nazis took power, Jewish and female citizens were forced out of their academic positions. That meant Hedwig Kohn, Lise Meitner, Hertha Sponer, and Hildegard Stรผcklen had no choice but to flee because of their Jewish ancestry or anti-Nazi sentiments. This book was so well-researched and I loved learning more about these women and their story. I would have never known about these women and all they did for the field of physics without this book. While I read a lot of historical fiction based on true events, it was nice to read some non-fiction about four women who persisted despite the odds that were stacked against them.
๐งI listened to the audiobook, which was narrated by one of my favorite narrators, Cassandra Campbell. Campbell. Did such an amazing job telling the story of these four women. I loved my time listening to her and thought she was a phenomenal storyteller. I am used to her narrating fiction, and I can say, she was just as dynamic narrating a non-fiction audiobook. I highly recommend this one on audio!

An absolutely beautiful story of the critical contributions of women in science despite the immense duress of war and persecution. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the advance copy.

Thank you Harlequin Audio and NetGalley for the advanced electronic audio review copy of this informative book. This is a wonderful story about the journey four very courageous and brilliant women scientists had to take to escape Nazi Germany and then be acknowledged and accepted among their male peers as they made major scientific contributions that in some cases changed the course of history.
