The Resume

(June 21, 1870-May 2, 1915)
Born in Breslau , Germany
Chemist
Wife of Fritz Haber
Committed suicide by gunshot at 44

Why she might be annoying:

She looked like a throwback Taylor Swift.
She married Fritz Haber, the man responsible for the use of poison gases and other chemicals used in military warfare.
Her son, who found her dying body, later killed himself.

Why she might not be annoying:

She was the first woman to earn a doctorate in Chemistry from the University of Breslau.
Stifled by stringent gender roles of the time, she lamented to a friend her frustrations of not living up to her potential.
Her husband branded her a traitor to the 'Fatherland' for her staunch opposition to chemical warfare.
