CBC Showcase: Women's History Month and National Poetry Month
Featuring source notes, bibliography, and a list of recommended web sites, this portrait looks beyond the fundamental facts about Dr. Curie to provide insight into the trajectory of her life and career.
by Carla Killough McClafferty
Marie Curie pushed for a solid education despite hardship and dedicated herself to her work in the face of adversity and gender bias. Her determination to never lose sight of her dreams and to share her findings—even in the face of war, poverty, grave danger, illness, and resistance from the male-dominated world of science—will inspire and inform young readers.
