Marketing Marie

摘要

The life of Marie Curie was better than fiction. She was brilliant, driven and difficu a scientist of the first rank; a mother; a young widow; a scorned woman in love with a married man; and a shrewd marketer of both herself and her discoveries. She won two Nobel prizes — for her work on radioactivity and the discovery of radium and polonium. She died aged 67 as a result of her cavalier approach to laboratory exposure to radioactive materials. Her appearance was also striking, both as a pale, beautiful young woman and as a stern, intense matriarch.
