Book Description:

Marie Curie was the first woman to win the world's highest honor in science, the Nobel Prize. Working in a time when women were not allowed to attend college, Marie Curie was a scientific pioneer. Her study of atoms led to the discovery of new elements and a new branch of science that studied radioactivity. For more information on elements and atoms, read The Atom, another book in the Mission: Science series.
