Features: This book is the most authoritative, most comprehensive in terms of research, and most elegant in writing among all biographies 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 towards female scientists, yet finds strength in her remaining pride. In the solitude of her heart, readers see a noble woman, unwavering in her dedication to scientific research, selfless and passionate. This book is the most authoritative, most comprehensive in terms of research, and most elegant in writing among all biographies of Marie Curie to date. The book is divided into six parts: Humiliation, Genius, Fame, Scandal, Interlude, and Statue. Appendix: After Marie Curie.
