Women In STEM: Historical Fiction Novel Tells Story Of Hidden World War 2 Hero
Women in STEM have historically been overlooked. As a result, there are many stories of innovation and bravery that the world has missed out on. "M.A.D Scientists: A Love Story" puts a spotlight on one of those hidden women. Written by T.H. Harbinger, the novel centers Viola Schmitt, wife of American inventor and engineer Otto Schmitt, detailing her largely unknown contributions to the Allied forces' success in World War 2.
How A Woman Working In STEM Impacted World War 2 While most popular stories of female heroes in World War 2 focus on espionage and sabotage, author T.H. Harbinger seeks to bring to light the story of an unknown, uncredited woman in STEM, whose work made a lasting impact on one of the deadliest conflicts in history.
During World War 2, the German U-Boats were a massive problem for the Allied forces, destroying thousands of merchant vessels carrying their supplies. According to "Don't Tread on Me: A 400-Year History of America at War, from Indian Fighting to Terrorist Hunting" by H.W. Crocker, almost 3,000 Allied ships (175 warships; 2,825 merchant ships) had been sunk by U-boat torpedoes.
"M.A.D Scientists: A Love Story" is a fictional retelling of Viola and Otto Schmitt's relationship as they developed the first Magnetic Airborne Detector, a weapon that helped mitigate the threat of the German U-boats, turning the tides of the war.
A Heartfelt Love Story That Changed The World Viola Schmitt's story is a heartfelt love story as much as it is a nugget of women's history. Told from her perspective, the novel highlights the unpaid labor, and other sacrifices she made for the love of her country, her husband, and science.
Readers of this historical fiction will experience the physical and emotional turmoil as Viola and Otto Schmitt persevere through threats to their marriage, challenges to their professional reputations, and brushes with death.
