"Le 4 novembre 1911, un journal à grand tirage annonce une nouvelle extravagante : Marie Curie a un amant. La presse et l'opinion s'enflamment. Procès, duels, publication de lettres volées, l'ouragan médiatique est énorme. Marie manque d'y laisser la vie. C'est vrai, elle a une liaison. Veuve depuis cinq ans de Pierre Curie le chercheur avec qui elle avait découvert le, radium et reçu son premier prix Nobel, elle s'est éprise d'un homme marié, Paul Langevin, ami d'Einstein, et lui aussi savant d'exception. Mais surtout elle dérange. Icône de la science mondiale, elle s'apprête à recevoir un second Nobel. Femme, célèbre, géniale et amoureuse, c'en est trop. Comme le capitaine Dreyfus vingt ans plus tôt, on l'accable de calomnies. On va jusqu'à lapider sa maison. Au plus fort de la tourmente, elle restera pourtant fidèle à ses deux passions : Paul, l'amant, et Pierre, son mari tragiquement disparu. Quel secret les unissait? Pour le comprendre, Irène Frain a interrogé des archives négligées, des photos méconnues, des lieux inexplorés. Et ressuscité, par-delà le thriller médiatique d'une modernité souvent glaçante, une femme-courage prête à tout risquer pour ceux qu'elle aime."--Page 4 de la couverture

This book is a companion to the IYC-2011 celebration. The eleven chapters are organized into three sections: Section 1: Marie Curie's Impact on Science and Society, Section 2: Women Chemists in the Past Two Centuries, and Section 3: Policy Implications. The authors invited to contribute to this book were asked to orient their chapter around a particular aspect of Marie Curie's life such as the ethical aspects of her research, women's role in research or her influence on the image of chemists.Our hope is that this book will positively influence young women's minds and decisions they make in learning of chemistry/science like Marie Curie's biography. But we do hope this book opens an avenue for young women to explore the possibility of being a scientist, or at least to appreciate chemistry as a human enterprise that has its merit in contributing to sustainability in our world. Also we hope that both men and women will realize that women are fully competent and capable of conducting creative and fascinating scientific research.
