Description
Marie Curie and Her Daughters: A Story Behind the Science Icon Shelley Emling's biography reveals the private lives of science's first family, challenging the common image of Marie Curie as a shy introvert. Through personal letters, Emling shows how Curie influenced her daughters to forge their own paths in science and beyond. Irene followed her mother into scientific discovery, while Eve traveled the world as a foreign correspondent before pursuing humanitarian work. A lesser-known aspect of Curie's life is her close friendship with American journalist Missy Meloney, who arranged speaking tours across the US for the Curies. This book offers an engrossing look at the real person behind the science legend. Factually rich and personal, Marie Curie and Her Daughters sheds new light on a fascinating story that has been largely mythologized.
