The Genius of Marie Curie: The Woman Who Lit up the World

The Genius of Marie Curie: The Woman Who Lit Up the World explores how the world-renowned scientist and pioneering researcher of radioactivity experienced setbacks and frustration before becoming the first woman to win a Nobel Prize. She is also the only person ever to have won two Nobel Prizes in two different scientific categories. However, her discovery of the element radium ultimately led to her own demise.

Along Curie’s journey to becoming a scientist who would inspire generations of women across many continents, she also fell in love three times. Taken as a whole, her story portrays a woman who was far more than a scientist; she was a human being. She lost loved ones, and at times was laughed at and mocked by sections of society. Yet she pushed through every obstacle to become a hero to countless people, both male and female, across generations.
