Description
One of the most noticeable books of 2024 by a Pulitzer Prize finalist!
Marie Curie is the only woman to have received the Nobel Prize twice. After surviving the death of her husband, she took his place at the Sorbonne and raised two daughters herself. From morning to night, she worked in the laboratory, discovering elements that would soon change the course of history.
This is a vivid and deeply human portrait of an outstanding researcher, created from her diaries and rare archival photographs.
During the First World War, she went without hesitation to the front lines with a mobile X-ray unit. In brief lulls between lectures and trips, she loved to go hiking in the mountains, and she spoke with Einstein and other great thinkers of the 20th century. She managed to charm two U.S. presidents and became a symbol of feminism of her era.
Unusual and sincere, she won over not only science, but also the hearts of people.
