Did you know that Marie Wreschner received a patent in 1930 for a radioactive liquid that, according to one of her coworkers, killed tumors in animals?
Marie Wreschner (20 September 1887 – 17 November 1941) was a German physicist and physical chemist. One of only two women at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Physical Chemistry and Electrochemistry, she patented one of the earliest methods for treating cancer using radioactive materials in 1925. In April 1933, Wreschner was dismissed from the institute under the antisemitic Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service, which the Nazi Party used to exclude Jews from civil service.
