Hertha Dorothea Elisabeth Sponer (1895 to 1968) was a German physicist and chemist who contributed to modern quantum mechanics and molecular physics. She was the first woman on the physics faculty of Duke University and was one of only three women to earn both a PhD in physics and a habilitation in Germany before the start of World War II, the others being Lise Meitner and Hedwig Kohn. Her younger sister was the philologist and resistance fighter Margot Sponer. The source lead for this entry is short, so it records her nationality, her fields, her contribution and her place at Duke University and leaves her career in Germany and her publications to further research.
