The story of a family of remarkable women, Marie Curie and Her Daughters is a truly fascinating and inspiring read. - BookTrust

Imagine someone told you that your dream could never come true. What would you do?

Meet Marie Curie. Shy and reserved, she loved science more than anything else in the world. But she lived at a time when women couldn't be scientists. Marie followed her passion and is now remembered for her game-changing discoveries. But while she tinkered away with test tubes and experimented with glow-in-the-dark chemical elements, Marie became a mother. Irene and Eve grew up to be fiercely independent and determined women just like their mother, and had many adventures of their own.

Join these three incredible women in this gorgeously illustrated book as they save lives during WWI and WWII, win Nobel Prizes, overcome tragedies, travel all around the world, and change the history of science forever. This uplifting and touching tale of strength, science, and sisterhood, written and illustrated by two remarkable sisters, Imogen and Isabel Greenberg, is a triumph of female empowerment.
