But when Curie was nominated to the French Academy of Sciences, the academy denied her admission and then voted to disqualify all women from membership.

Meitner's unique insight was critical to a revolution in science, yet her achievement was often overlooked or even deliberately erased from the record. In a nonfiction narrative that reads with the suspense of a thriller, Radioactive! presents the story of two women breaking ground in a male-dominated field, still largely unknown despite their crucial contributions to nuclear science.

NOW IN PAPERBACK! The page-turning, heart-wrenching true story of one young woman willing to risk her safety and even her life for a chance at freedom in the largest slave escape attempt in American history.
