Marie Curie : A Life From Beginning To End

Marie Curie One of the most famous women of the twentieth century, Marie Curie was a trailblazer in the truest sense. Known for her discovery of two radioactive elements, radium and polonium, Marie Curie was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize. She remains the only woman to win two Nobel Prizes in different sciences. Inside you will read about... ? Early Life and Loss ? The Flying University ? Nobel Prizes ? Scandals ? Curie's First World War Efforts ? The Discovery that Killed Her And much more! Marie Curie lived by her own rules in a society marred by misogyny and xenophobia. A scientist, but also a loving wife and mother, she defied expectations as a matter of course. Curie also fought for her country during the First World War the best way she knew how--with science. There is much more to Marie Curie's story than the discovery of the radioactive elements that eventually killed her.
