"Born in Warsaw, Poland on November 7, 1867, Marie Curie was forbidden to attend the male-only University of Warsaw, so she enrolled at the Sorbonne in Paris to study physics and mathematics. There she met a professor named Pierre Curie, and the two soon married, forming one of the most famous scientific partnerships in history. Together they discovered two elements and won a Nobel Prize in 1903. (Marie later won another Nobel for chemistry in 1911.)...

This illustrated biography explores all of Marie Curie's accomplishments, from her discoveries of radioactivity, polonium, and radium to her Nobel Prize victory and her continuing influence today. Marie Curie coined the term radioactivity, and it is to her and her husband, Pierre Curie, that we owe much of our knowledge of the very fabric of reality. As well as discovering the atomic rather than chemical nature of radioactivity, the Curies isolated...

Explores the childhood of Marie Curie, who overcame adversity to become one of the most respected scientists in the world.

"Marie Curie, renowned for her work on radioactivity, was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, the first person to win in two fields (chemistry and physics), and the first woman to hold a chair position at the Sorbonne. Marie Curie for Kids details Curie's remarkable life, from her childhood under a repressive czar in Poland to her tireless work supporting herself through college to meeting her ideal match in scientist Pierre Curie to her revolutionary...

"Scientist Marie Curie discovered radioactivity. What were the steps Curie took which lead her to this world-changing discovery?"--

The story of Marie Curie, the revolutionary scientist and Nobel Prize winner.

A reimagining of the life of Marie Curie is told through two parallel timelines, including one that reflects her real-world achievements and another that explores how the world might be different had she made other choices.

"Rosalind Franklin was a chemist who helped us understand the human body and the structure of DNA-- a substance that controls how our bodies look and grow. Masterminds readers will learn how influential figures in S.T.E.A.M., like Rosalind Franklin, made massive contributions to their fields and how their stories and discoveries remain relevant today"--

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.
