Promising the full story of a passionate life in science, Susan Quinn
delivers the goods in the paperback of her excellent biography Marie Curie
(Addison-Wesley, $16, ISBN 0 201 88794 0), reviewed last year in
hardback. Saddest to read is the episode in which Curie is pilloried by the
popular press, which labelled her unfeminine because of her scientific work,
when she had an affair with a fellow scientist. The scandal nearly lost her her
second Nobel prize.
