Madame Curie is a biographical book written by Eileen Bigland that tells the story of Marie Curie, a pioneering scientist who made groundbreaking discoveries in the field of radioactivity. The book covers Marie Curie's life from her childhood in Poland, where she was born as Maria Sk�����odowska, to her studies in Paris, where she met and married Pierre Curie, and their joint research work that led to the discovery of two new elements, polonium and radium. The book also explores the challenges and obstacles Marie Curie faced as a woman in the male-dominated field of science, including the discrimination and sexism she encountered. The author portrays Marie Curie as a brilliant and determined scientist who overcame these obstacles to become one of the most influential figures in modern science.
