Madame Curie | Eve Curie
4 posts | 5 read | 1 reading | 9 to read
Marie Sklodowska Curie (1867–1934) was the first woman scientist to win worldwide acclaim and was, indeed, one of the great scientists of the twentieth century. Written by Curie’s daughter, the renowned international activist Eve Curie, this biography chronicles Curie’s legendary achievements in science, including her pioneering efforts in the study of radioactivity and her two Nobel Prizes in Physics and Chemistry. It also spotlights her remarkable life, from her childhood in Poland, to her storybook Parisian marriage to fellow scientist Pierre Curie, to her tragic death from the very radium that brought her fame.

I chose four women for today: 2 from real life and 2 fictional characters. Marie Curie is incredibly unforgettable as a brilliant scientist instrumental in taking our knowledge of radiation to a new level. Simon de Beauvoir: a radical feminist with a beautiful mind. Thomas Pynchon's "V" who despite her mystery and the negative space surrounding her sticks indelibly in the readers mind. And finally Anna K. Obviously. #unforgettablewomen #booktober
