Features: This book is the most authoritative, well-documented, and beautifully written biography of Marie Curie to date. Since its Chinese edition was published in Taiwan, it has been reprinted over twenty times. Through the unique perspective of an outstanding woman, the book portrays another outstanding woman—Marie Sk?odowska-Curie—in a completely different light: she gets angry, has a sense of humor; beyond the glorious scientific crown, she faces material scarcity, scandalous lawsuits, the unexpected death of her husband, and the skepticism of the outside world toward female scientists, yet finds strength in her remaining pride. Deep within her lonely heart, readers see a noble woman, unwavering in her dedication, selflessness, and passion for scientific research.
