Clara Immerwahr was born at Wojczyce in 1870. Her recorded nationality is the Kingdom of Prussia. She was educated at University of Wrocław.

Clara Immerwahr is described as chemist, women's rights activist and peace activist.
Results that survive re-examination become the floor of a discipline.
Her recorded fields of work are chemistry and physical chemistry.
That the work was done from the Kingdom of Prussia matters. Opportunity has never been evenly distributed, and where a person is based shapes which doors open and whose work gets seen.
Death came in 1915, at 45. By then the contribution had passed into the settled record.
