Summary:
"
Marie
Curie
was the
first
person to be honored by two Nobel Prizes and she pioneered the use of radiation therapy for cancer patients. But she was also a mother, widowed young, who raised two extraordinary
daughters
alone: Irene, a Nobel Prize winning chemist in her own right, who played an important role in the development of the atomic bomb, and Eve, a highly regarded humanitarian and journalist, who fought alongside the French Resistance during WWII. As a woman fighting to succeed in a male dominated profession and a Polish immigrant caught in a xenophobic society, she had to find ways to support her research. Drawing on personal interviews with
Curie
's descendents, as well as revelatory new archives, this is a wholly new story about
Marie
Curie--and a
family
of women inextricably connected to the dawn of nuclear physics"--Publisher.
