"Christopher Nolan's #Oppenheimer explores the work of physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer & colleagues to create the atomic bomb.

Yet, the film fails to depict a key part of the story, using 2 female scientists as stand-ins for ALL of the women who contributed."

Hundreds of women were essential to the Manhattan Project, including Nobel Prize winning physicist Maria Goeppert Mayer. But they are largely absent in the #film.

@Sheril I haven't heard about Maria Goeppert Mayer before, while my city (or her city) has a street named after her.

Schools here depict Maria Skłodowska-Curie as the only woman in science.
