Madame Curie is the authoritative and deeply personal biography of Marie Curie, the pioneering Polish-French physicist and chemist who became the first woman to win a Nobel Prize — and the only person to win it in two different sciences. Written by her daughter Eve Curie and translated by Vincent Sheean with a preface by Michel Wilson, this celebrated work chronicles Marie's extraordinary journey from a modest upbringing in Warsaw to the forefront of scientific discovery in Paris. With warmth and precision, Eve presents an intimate portrait of a woman who defied the gender barriers of her era, co-discovering polonium and radium alongside her husband Pierre Curie. The biography captures both the scientific triumphs and the profound personal sacrifices that defined Marie's remarkable life, illustrating why she remains one of the most inspiring figures in the history of science.
