THE 1/2 LIFE OF MARIE CURIE
Marie Curie was a Polish-naturalized French physicist and chemist who made ground-breaking discoveries in radioactivity. With her husband Pierre, she was the first woman ever to win a Noble prize in 1903. After the death of her husband she went on to win another Noble prize for chemistry in 1911. By 1912 all the public knew was that she was accused of having an affair with a married man. Devastated by the publicity, she escaped for a time to the seaside home of her friend, Hertha Ayrton, an inventor, electromechanical engineer and noted suffragette. Both mothers and widows they explore friendship and how they remain fearless champions of scientific inquiry.
