Discover the inspiring story of Marie Curie - the scientist who
made more than one world-changing discovery, and the first woman to
win a Nobel prize - in this fascinating kids' biography. Born to
poor school teachers at a time when women could not attend
university in her home country of Poland, Marie Curie sought out an
underground university and worked hard to save money for further
study in Paris. She made it to France, and continued to dedicate
herself to science once she had graduated. In search of new
radioactive elements, she undertook physically exhausting work with
materials that were later found to be incredibly dangerous. Having
finally discovered polonium and radium, the Nobel prize that should
have been hers was first awarded to her husband - but Marie
eventually won the fame she deserved. This biography, ideal for
kids aged 7-11, charts the major events of Marie's life, from her
childhood in Poland, when she discovered her love of science using
the lab kit her father brought home from his school, to coining the
term "radioactive" and developing mobile radiology units that
helped treat countless injured soldiers in the First World War.
