But her parents felt differently. Giving her a name meaning \"Courageous Hero,\" they encouraged her love of learning and science. This engaging biography follows Wu Chien Shiung as she battles sexism and racism to become what \u003ci\u003eNewsweek\u003c\/i\u003e magazine called the \"Queen of Physics\" for her work on beta decay. Along the way, she earned the admiration of famous scientists like Enrico Fermi and Robert Oppenheimer and became the first woman hired as an instructor by Princeton University, the first woman elected President of the American Physical Society, the first scientist to have an asteroid named after her when she was still alive, and many other honors. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eWinner - 2020 Asian\/Pacific American Awards for Literature Picture Book\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e! \u003cbr\u003e An NCTE Orbis Pictus Recommended book!\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTeresa Robeson was born in Hong Kong, raised in Canada, and now writes and creates from her mini-homestead in southern Indiana where she lives with her scientist husband.
