The Power of Women!!!

Today in Mighty Girl history, Nobel Prize-winning neurobiologist Rita Levi-Montalcini was born in 1909 to a Jewish-Italian family in Turin. Levi-Montalcini's years in medical school coincided with the rise of fascism in Italy and the imposition of anti-Semitic laws which limited her career prospects. Once WWII broke out, she and her family decided to stay in Italy rather than flee overseas and she built a laboratory in her bedroom to continue her research work. It was in this makeshift laboratory that she began studying the development of chicken embryos; research that laid the underpinning of her later Nobel Prize-winning work on the mechanism of cell growth regulation.

After the N**i invasion of Italy in 1943, Levi-Montalcini and her family were forced underground and moved to Florence where she worked as a doctor in Allied war camps after the city was liberated. Following the war, in 1946, she moved to the U.S. for more than twenty years to conduct research at Washington University in St. Louis. It was there that she discovered nerve growth factor, a protein which regulates the growth of cells; this discovery was critical to better understanding tumor growth among other conditions.

It was for this breakthrough research that the Nobel committee described her work, along with fellow winner Stanley Cohen, as “a fascinating example of how a skilled observer can create a concept out of apparent chaos.” Both received the 1986 Nobel Prize for Medicine. Dr. Levi-Montalcini passed away in 2012 at the age of 103.

Rita Levi-Montalcini is one of 50 remarkable women featured in the wonderful illustrated biography, "Women in Science: 50 Fearless Pioneers," for ages 9 and up at http://www.amightygirl.com/women-in-science

She is also included in the fascinating book “Headstrong: 52 Women Who Changed Science – and The World" for teens and adults (http://www.amightygirl.com/headstrong-52-women) -- and the version for pre-teens "Trailblazers: 33 Women in Science Who Changed the World" (http://www.amightygirl.com/trailblazers-33-women-in-science)
