Portrait of Enrico Fermi with His Wife
(Original Caption) Mrs. Enrico Fermi, author of Atoms in the Family, with her husband, Nobel Prize recipient who, more than any other man, can be called the "architect of the atomic age." Released October 13th, Mrs. Fermi's book is the first personal report on the atomic bomb. An Italian immigrant, Mrs. Fermi developed from the kind of wife who merely, in her own words, "cooked and ironed shirts for" her husband to one who developed a lively interest in his scientific works, filled clerical positions in the various nuclear plants he worked in, and took a writing course when it was suggested that she might best tell what it is like to be an atomic scientist's wife. In Chicago, Mrs. Fermi is an active member of the League of Women Voters, and for the past few years has been a "writing homemaker." Atoms in the Family is being published only two months short of the 12th anniversary
