But she was also a mother, widowed young, who raised two extraordinary daughters alone: Irene, a Nobel Prize winning chemist in her own right, who played an important role in the development of the atomic bomb, and Eve, a highly regarded humanitarian and journalist, who fought alongside the French Resistance during WWII. As a woman fighting to succeed in a male dominated profession and a Polish immigrant caught in a xenophobic society, she had to find ways to support her research. Drawing on personal interviews with Curie's descendents, as well as revelatory new archives, this is a wholly new story about Marie Curie--and a family of women inextricably connected to the dawn of nuclear physics"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Curie, Marie, $d 1867-1934 $x Family. 600 10 $a Joliot-Curie, IreÌne, $d 1897-1956. 600 10 $a Curie, Eve, $d 1904-2007. 650 0 $a Women scientists $x Family relationships. 650 0 $a Women chemists $z France $v Biography. 650 7 $a SCIENCE / History. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY / Europe / France. $2 bisacsh 941 $a 2 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20170801012118.0 952 $l RAPD371 $d 20150805012239.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=647394083B3711E5A6763BB9DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
