Fans of Williams's iconic and unconventional memoir, Refuge, well remember that mother.

But not as much of a shock as what she found when the time came to read them.

But her career in science was improbable from the start.

“Even now, nearly a century after her death, Marie Curie remains the only female scientist most people can name,” writes Dava Sobel at the opening of her shining portrait of the sole Nobel laureate decorated in two separate fields of science—Physics in 1903 with her husband, Pierre, and Chemistry by herself in 1911.
