On this Theme Thursday we move into one of the most remembered and influential women in science: Marie Curie\u2019s. \u00a0\u201cIn many ways, Marie Curie represents modern science. Her considerable lifetime achievements\u2014the first woman to be awarded a Nobel Prize, the only woman to be awarded the Prize in two fields, and the only person to be awarded Nobel Prizes in multiple sciences\u2014are studied by schoolchildren across the world. When, in 2009, the <\/span>New Scientist <\/span><\/i>carried out a poll for the \u201cMost Inspirational Female Scientist of All Time,\u201d the result was a foregone conclusion: Marie Curie trounced her closest runner-up, Rosalind Franklin, winning double the number of Franklin\u2019s votes. She is a role model to women embarking on a career in science, the pride of two nations\u2014Poland and France\u2014and, not least of all, a European Union brand for excellence in science. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c\"9780226422503\"<\/a>Making Marie Curie <\/span><\/i>explores what went into the creation of this icon of science. It is not a traditional biography, or one that attempts to uncover the \u201creal\u201d Marie Curie. Rather, Eva Hemmungs Wirt\u00e9n, by tracing a career that spans two centuries and a world war, provides an innovative and historically grounded account of how modern science emerges in tandem with celebrity culture under the influence of intellectual property in a dawning age of infor
\n<\/a> mation. She explores the emergence of the Curie persona, the information culture of the period that shaped its development, and the strategies Curie used to manage and exploit her intellectual property. How did one create and maintain for oneself the persona of scientist at the beginning of the twentieth century? What special conditions bore upon scientific <\/span>women<\/span><\/i>, and on married women in particular? How was French identity claimed, established, and subverted? How, and with what consequences, was a scientific reputation secured?<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIn its exploration of these questions and many more, <\/span>Making Marie Curie<\/span><\/i> provides a composite picture not only of the making of Marie Curie, but the making of modern science itself.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
