Description
When Wu Chien Shiung was born in China in the early 1900s, girls typically did not attend school. They weren't considered as smart as boys. But her parents thought differently, so they gave her a name meaning "courageous hero" and encouraged her love of learning and science. Chien Shiung found her passion in physics, which took her from her small hometown of Liuhe to the National Central University in Nanjing and then all the way to the United States. She became such an exceptional physicist that other scientists asked her for help running experiments! Even then, she didn't always get the jobs she wanted or the credit she deserved - because she was Asian. But she pushed back against the prejudice with dignity and poise, and focused on excelling at what she loved. It's no wonder Newsweek declared her the "Queen of Physics."
