Barbara Goldsmith chronicles the life of a woman whom many honor as a scientific heroine in her new book, "Obsessive Genius, The Inner World of Marie Curie." Indeed, accounts of Marie Curie spurred many to pursue science and forage new territories. Through family interviews, diaries, letters, and workbooks that had been sealed for over sixty years, Barbara Goldsmith reveals the Marie Curie behind the myth―an all-too-human woman struggling to balance a spectacular scientific career, a demanding family, the prejudice of society, and her own passionate nature. Barbara Goldsmith’s Obsessive Genius: The Inner World of Marie Curie aims to illuminate the personal side of the physical chemist, born Maria Sklodowska (–), and break through the legends, many of which were nurtured by Curie herself, that developed around the scientific icon. As one who was exposed to the myths in Madame Curie (Doubleday, Doran, ) by Curie’s daughter, Eve, and in the film version starring Walter Pidgeon and Greer Garson, I am grateful for Goldsmith.
