Her commitment to understanding things the human eye can't even see led to the discovery of two new elements--polonium and radium--and to the birth of a new field of research around radioactivity. In the process, she became the first woman to earn a Nobel Prize and the only person ever to win two Nobel Prizes in two different scientific fields, all as she reset society's ideas about women's roles in society." -- Back cover ER -
