Everyone thinks they know Marie Curie, but what about her extraordinary daughters? Follow their inspiring story in this stunningly illustrated book. Imagine someone told you that your dream could never come true. What would you do? Meet Marie Curie. Shy and reserved, she loved science more than anything else in the world. But she lived at a time when women weren’t allowed to be scientists. Marie followed her passion and is now remembered for her game-changing discoveries. But while she experimented with glow-in-the-dark chemical elements, Marie became a mother. Her daughters, Irene and Eve, grew up to be fiercely independent and determined women just like their mother, and had many adventures of their own. This uplifting and touching story of strength, science and sisterhood, written and illustrated by two remarkable sisters Imogen and Isabel Greenberg, is a triumph of female empowerment.
