Devotion to Their Science - Pioneer Women of Radioactivity (Paperback)

Biographical essays on 23 women who worked in atomic science during the first two decades of the 20th century, including Marie Curie, Lise Meitner, Irene Joliot-Curie, and a host of lesser-known women scientists whose life stories have never been told before. "A well-researched, scholarly work that will make a significant contribution to both the history of science and the role of women in 20th-century society. It provides a fascinating picture of the difficulties and obstacles faced by women who wished to pursue a career in science."--Montague Cohen, McGill University and Rutherford Museum
