Book synopsis

In many ways, Marie Curie represents modern science. Her considerable lifetime achievements--the first woman to be awarded a Nobel Prize, the only woman to be awarded the Prize in two fields, and the only person to be awarded Nobel Prizes in multiple sciences--are studied by schoolchildren across the world. When, in 2009, the New Scientist carried out a poll for the żżMost Inspirational Female Scientist of All Time,żż the result was a foregone conclusion: Marie Curie trounced her closest runner-up, Rosalind Franklin, winning double the number of Franklin's votes. She is a role model to women embarking on a career in science, the pride of two nations--Poland and France--and, not least of all, a European Union brand for excellence in science.
