Area of Science:

  • Physics
  • Biophysics
  • Organic Chemistry

Background:

  • Historical accounts of women in science during the Weimar Republic are scarce.
  • Women gained admission to German universities in 1908, but faced societal challenges in pursuing scientific careers.
  • The integration of women into male-dominated scientific fields, particularly natural sciences, remains an ongoing issue.

Discussion:

  • Isolde Hausser earned a Ph.D. in physics in 1914 and worked at Telefunken and the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Medical Research.
  • Her research focused on photoerythema and pigment formation, leading to the discovery of longwave ultraviolet action.
  • Hausser applied modern physical methods to study the structure and behavior of organic compounds.

Key Insights:

  • Hausser's work significantly advanced the understanding of ultraviolet radiation effects and organic compound properties.
