Pioneering physicist Hedwig Kohn celebrated in Google Doodle
The life of Hedwig Kohn, who broke down boundaries in science for women, is being honored by Google in its latest Doodle on what would have been her 132nd birthday.
She specialized in the measurement of light and radiation, from ultraviolet light to atomic and molecular spectroscopy. She contributed over 200 pages to a major physics textbook in 1929, which was still being cited into the 1970s, according to the Jewish Women’s Archive . Tough immigration rules meant she could only leave Germany if she had a guarantee of two years' employment, which was tricky for a Jewish, female physicist, the JWA noted.
She died in 1964 aged 77, but her research on measuring the intensity of light was still cited by physicists over a decade after her death.
