Fermi, Laura.
Laura Fermi papers, 1922-1977.
These papers consist in large part of drafts and research data for her various writings, some about nuclear energy and some about the life and work of her husband, Enrico Fermi. In addition, there is a small series of correspondence, most of it falling into the period following the death of her husband in 1954.
Laura Capon Fermi (1907-1978), wife of Nobel laureate, Enrico Fermi, was a writer who took serious contemporary issues and attempted to make them understandable to a large, popular audience. In middle age, she achieved widespread recognition with her Atoms in the Family (1954), a biography of Enrico Fermi. After Atoms for the World (1957), she turned to a biography of Mussolini and then to a study of the effect of the movement of European intelligentsia to the United States during the 1930s.
