The Genius of Marie Curie: The Woman Who Lit up the World Synopsis
Over 80 years after her death, Maria Skłodowska-Curie remains by far the best-known female scientist. In her lifetime, she became that rare thing - a celebrity scientist, attracting the attention of the news cameras and tabloid gossip.

It is a riveting portrait of a tenacious mother and scientist, who opened the door on a whole new realm of physics, which she discovered and named - radioactivity.
