Manya—A Visit with Marie Curie April 27, 2011

Meet famous scientist Marie Curie, as portrayed by storyteller Susan Marie Frontczak. Best known for her discovery of radium and radioactivity, Curie was the first woman to receive a doctorate in the sciences in Europe, the first woman to receive a Nobel Prize, the first person to receive a second Nobel Prize, and the first woman to teach at the Sorbonne. From political oppression, to scientific emergence and fame, to the tragedy that forced her into single motherhood as well as further world prominence, Manya’s story reveals a compelling journey.
