Ellen Gleditsch (1879-1968) became Norway's first authority on radioactivity and the country's second female full professor. From her many years abroad--in Marie Curie's laboratory in Paris and at Yale University in New Haven with Bertram Boltram--she became internationally acknowledged and developed an extensive personal and scientific network. In the Norwegian scientific community she was, however, less appreciated, and her appointment as a professor in 1929 caused controversy. Despite the recommendation of the expert committee, her predecessor and his allies spread the view that Gleditsch was a diligent but outdated researcher with little scientific promise-a view that apparently persists in the Norwegian chemical community today. In addition to her scientific work, Gleditsch acquired political influence by joining the International Federation of University Women in 1920; she later became the president of both the Norwegian section and the worldwide organization. She worked in particular to establish scholarships enabling women to go abroad.
埃伦·格列迪奇（1879 - 1968）成为挪威首位放射性领域权威以及该国第二位女性正教授。在国外的多年间——先是在巴黎玛丽·居里的实验室，后又在纽黑文的耶鲁大学与伯特伦·博尔特拉姆共事——她在国际上声名远扬，并建立了广泛的个人及科研关系网。然而，在挪威科学界，她却不太受赏识，1929年她被任命为教授一事引发了争议。尽管有专家委员会的推荐，她的前任及其盟友散布观点称，格列迪奇是一位勤奋但过时的研究者，几乎没有科研潜力——这种观点显然至今在挪威化学界依然存在。除了科研工作，格列迪奇还通过1920年加入国际大学妇女联合会获得了政治影响力；她后来成为挪威分会以及全球组织的主席。她尤其致力于设立奖学金，使女性能够出国深造。
