"From a very young age, Marie Curie loved science and was determined to make an impact on the world. But when Marie was growing up in the late 1800s, girls weren't exprected to become scientists. Sometimes they weren't allowed to learn at all. Marie didn't let this stop her, though, and with the encouragement of her family, she kept studying and experimenting until she became a groundbreaking physicist and chemist. Marie's ideas and discoveries continue to be some of the most powerful in the history of science."--Provided by publisher.
