A perfectly serviceable biography - however, while the project of highlighting female mentorship and bonds in Marie's life is interesting and admirable, it ultimately didn't add much substantially and it resulted in a lower quality story of her overall life. Details and scientific context had to be cut in order to have the stories of the many women she interacted with, and somewhat arbitrary episodes of her life were included in extended detail just because they involved another woman; these additions are interesting and worth knowing, but they muddled the overall narrative of Marie's life. They also did not create a strong "women in science" narrative because Marie didn't intentionally seek out women collaborators or anything, they were just the women who happened to intersect with her life for however long (and it often wasn't very long). The mini biographies of these women just felt like a lot of names and stories without a cohesive throughline (beyond just "women in science had a tough time"). So in the end it felt like a scattered selection of stories based on semi-random people she had interacted with, not a representative selection of stories that revealed a clear story about Marie/feminism/etc.
