Eggs
The Half-Life of Marie Curie | Lauren Gunderson
post image
Pickpick

This was delightful (but heartbreaking due to radium sickness) that presents itself as a bang-up version of old time radio drama! An elongated conversation between Marie and her friend Hertha Ayreton, mathematician, inventor, and suffragette, makes for a great listen; especially the inimitable voice of Kate Mulgrew.

The Half-Life of Marie Curie | Lauren Gunderson
post image

#WomenInScience #NewYearNewBook @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks A (very) short historical fiction play about Marie Curie‘s friendship with Hertha Ayrton, an accomplished mathematician, inventor, and suffragette. I‘m not sure if it‘s the writing or the voice acting that made this stand out so strongly for me, but some combo of the two made this short piece incredibly memorable.

Amiable I‘m reading a book about facial reconstruction during WWII and there‘s a mention of Marie Curie‘s effort for the war— she created mobile X-Ray vans that could be moved to the front. Such an amazing woman she was. 10mo

Gunderson is the master at highlighting the incredible accomplishments of women. This two-person play is about the friendship between Nobel-prize winner Marie Curie and the electromechanical engineer and suffragette Hertha Ayrton. Both women were brilliant and both fought against the sexism and absurd double standards in their field. The audible production of the play is perfect and I would love to see it live.

Megan Stine's 'Who Was Marie Curie?' provides a concise and accessible biography of the trailblazing scientist. It introduces young readers to Curie's contributions to science and the importance of perseverance in the face of challenges.
