Bookroo's summary

Marie Curie, a trailblazing scientist, challenges societal norms and scientific barriers to become the first person to win Nobel Prizes in both physics and chemistry. Her groundbreaking work on radioactivity not only redefines scientific understanding but also shatters gender stereotypes in the early 20th century. As she navigates a world resistant to women in science, Curie's relentless pursuit of knowledge raises questions about the limits of human discovery and the courage needed to transcend them. What sacrifices will she make in her quest for truth, and how will her legacy inspire future generations?

From the publisher

Marie Curie, the woman who coined the term radioactivity, won not just one Nobel Prize but two?in physics and chemistry, both supposedly girl-phobic sciences.
