Difference between Leona Woods and Manhattan Project

Leona Woods vs. Manhattan Project

Leona Harriet Woods (August 9, 1919 – November 10, 1986), later known as Leona Woods Marshall and Leona Woods Marshall Libby, was an American physicist who helped build the first nuclear reactor and the first atomic bomb. The Manhattan Project was a research and development undertaking during World War II that produced the first nuclear weapons.
