内容简介
Talk about a "glowing reputation"! Marie Curie, the woman who coined the term radioactivity, won not just one Nobel prize but two—in physics and in chemistry, both supposedly girl-phobic sciences. As with her previous star-studded biographies of Leonardo da Vinci, Isaac Newton, and Sigmund Freud—all three chosen as ALA Notable Books—Kathleen Krull offers readers a fascinating portrait of this mythic "giant of science" who abhorred publicity. And she also places Curie’s ground-breaking discovery of two elements within the framework of science at that time.
