"X"-ing Site "Y": Manhattan's Portrayal of Women at Los Alamos by Nathan Kapoor

Manhattan's Missing Women by Leila A. McNeill

For this issue, guest author Nathan Kapoor watched the TV show Manhattan so that you don't have to. He challenges the show's representation of female characters based on tropes rather than actual women. Leila looks at the historiography of the Manhattan Project finding it incomplete and exclusionary to women.
