I like this history. It needs to be passed on to the kids. Let them suffer through it like I did.

I think they sell her a bit short in this blurb. she was not only the first women to win the prize she was the first and so far only woman to get more than one and the only person to win in two different scientific fields.

Her work with radioactive materials unfortunately led to her early demise. No one knew radioactive isotopes would kill after prolonged exposure.
