Chien-Shiung Wu, the First Lady of Physics, was a scientific force who changed our understanding of the universe. Born in China, she shattered a forty-year-old law of nature in 1957 by proving parity is violated in the weak interaction. This single, meticulous experiment, a technical masterpiece executed at cryogenic temperatures, redefined symmetry and provided the essential empirical blueprint for the Standard Model of particle physics.Despite her undeniable genius, Wu was controversially omitted from the 1957 Nobel Prize awarded for the theory she proved, transforming her into an icon of resilience against institutional bias.This definitive biography explores her unconventional path: from her father's progressive school in rural China to her crucial, yet often unsung, work on the Manhattan Project. It documents her career as an academic leader at Columbia and her later role as a global science diplomat, bridging the East-West divide and funding scholarships in her homeland.Discover the full story of the experimental master whose uncompromising dedication to scientific truth transcended prejudice and war. This is an essential portrait of genius, tracing a life where cultural identity, gender, and groundbreaking physics intersect to create one of the most vital legacies in modern science.
