In her intensely researched, inventively drawn exploration of Marie Curie's life, artist Alice Milani follows the celebrated Polish scientist from Curie's time as a struggling governess to her years in France making breakthrough discoveries. Curie was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize and the only person to win a Nobel Prize in two different sciences. With skill and care, Milani traces Curie's flight from Russia-controlled Poland, her romance with fellow scientist Pierre Curie, and Marie and Pierre's stunning discoveries of the elements radium and polonium. Throughout this distinctive graphic work, Curie defies doubt and double standards to make an enduring impact on the scientific world.

Reviews for Marie Curie: A Life of Discovery

The tender, loosely impressionistic colored pencil and watercolor illustrations add liveliness and warmth to this recounting of a remarkable life. . . . An appealing volume for graphic novel and science enthusiasts. --Kirkus Reviews -- (5/3/2019 12:00:00 AM) When Milani isn't explaining in the text--fluidly translated from the original Italian by Schwandt--she relies on atmospheric, pencil-and-watercolor art to augment the narrative of Curie's brilliant life. --Booklist -- (6/21/2019 12:00:00 AM) Will appeal to curious high schoolers and adults interested in history and science . . . --Library Journal -- (6/1/2019 12:00:00 AM) With a complex story structure and sophisticated science content, this addition to the canon about Curie is ideal for upper middle and high schoolers. --School Library Journal -- (6/26/2019 12:00:00 AM)
