TITLE |
Madame Curie (1943) |
|
NOTES |
Biography of
the Polish woman who isolated radium and won two Nobel
prizes. On the way she is diagnosed with cancer but
survives. |
|
Madame Curie
is the first woman that I remember who stood |
|
as an
historical figure alongside the great male scientists. |
|
Also of
interest here is that science is seen as having a |
|
positive
role in people's lives whether it was preventing |
|
disease or
war. This can be contrasted with the much |
|
greater
number of films on this site in which science and/or |
|
the
scientist is portrayed as evil. |

book by Eve Curie |
