Book Title: Obsessive Genius: The Inner World of Marie Curie

Author: Barbara Goldsmith

Selection Statement:

Maria Sklodowska-Curie broke so many barriers for women scientists and to date remains the only woman who won two Nobel Prizes. She left her home country, Poland, to pursue her scientific career, but through all the years away, she never forgot her love for her homeland and always knew she was “giving back” through her work and scientific achievements.
