[edit] Review comments
Consideration should be given to merging with Fritz Haber, as independent notability is unclear and much of the article covers his contributions. Espresso Addict 01:37, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

- I see your point about "independent notability" which is ineed pretty weak in her case (just being honest). However, she was the first female PhD out of Univ of Breslau, did contribute to her famous husband's work, and as such might be considered something of a figure in the history of women's rights and suffragism...I dunno, just food for though.

- I agree.The point is historically women were often eclipsed, as she was by her married relationship, so relatively, she is still notable. Could you say that? I feel it's worth raising her profile and casting light on the situation of a woman with her education even for sociological reasons. Would Haber be as accessible without her work?

- Well, theres no doubt she was a qualified chemist, even if on no other basis than her graduation from a notable European university. She must have been pretty good in her field of study to achieve that back then (as we discuss above), even without her own discoveries...I'm not certain what you mean by would Fritz H. be as accessible without her work, but I've seen nothing to indicate he was anything less than a first-rate scientist himself. I mean, nothing to indicate the sort of "controversy" in the Haber's work that has recently been suggested (and largely disproved) of Albert Einstein and Mileva Maric: that Mileva was the genius while Albert got the credit. Revisionist history nonsense....Then there is the possiblity that without marriage to Fritz, Clara would never have had the opportunity to do what work she did do....Anyway, imho they both deserve their own space in Wikipedia.

[edit] Fourth Paragraph
Part of the 4th para reads: "....in the gas attack in military history..." is this intended to mean first gas attack in military hostory? Engr105th 00:21, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bried?
What does this mean? "The life I got from it was very bried" – dunno what it could be. Julia Rossi (talk) 07:16, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
- I'd bet the contributor meant "brief"...The D and F letters are adjacent on a keyboard...Engr105th (talk) 06:43, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
exactly, the German original is: "Der Aufschwung, den ich davon gehabt, ist aber sehr kurz gewesen" - "kurz" means brief, "Aufschwung" was translated with life, it means some kind of "uprise" (if my english is good enough). I have changed it. Plehn (talk) 16:47, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
