Obsessive Genius
The Inner World of Marie Curie
Through family interviews, diaries, letters, and workbooks that had been sealed for over sixty years, Barbara Goldsmith reveals the Marie Curie behind the myth--an all-too-human woman struggling to balance a spectacular scientific career, a demanding family, the prejudice of society, and her own passionate nature. Obsessive Genius is a dazzling portrait of Curie, her amazing scientific success, and the price she paid for fame.
Goldsmith, Barbara: - Barbara Goldsmith (1931--2016), a journalist and philanthropist, was the author of Little Gloria...Happy at Last, Obsessive Genius, Johnson v. Johnson, The Straw Man, and Other Powers.
