One of the best books of 2024 from a Pulitzer Prize finalist!

Marie Curie is the only woman to have won the Nobel Prize twice. After the tragic death of her husband, she took over his department at the Sorbonne and raised two daughters alone. She spent her days in the laboratory, discovering elements that would later revolutionize the world.

Here is a vivid portrait of a brilliant scientist, woven from personal diaries and archival photographs.

At the height of World War I, she fearlessly went to the front with a mobile X-ray machine. In rare moments of peace between conferences, she loved to hike in the mountains and befriended Einstein and other great minds of the 20th century. She charmed two American presidents and became a feminist icon of her time.

Whimsical and open, she conquered not only the heights of science but also the hearts of people.
