A biography on Marie Curie, with also a great focus on the young women she mentored during her research. Sometimes a bit long-winded, and the writing is not always very engaging. But, Marie Curie was an inspiring female scientist who paved the way for all of us in a way, so in all an entertaining read.

The 1 star review bombers haven't actually read the book, by the way. The book addresses her homeland Poland, the choice why she decided to publish and work under the name Marie Curie, and does no disservice to Poland in any way.
