Happy International Women's Day! -
Happy International Women's Day!@gutenberg_org An interesting list of books in celebration of International Women’s Day. As a scientist, there was a lot to interest me, so today I downloaded and read Marie Curie’s “The Discovery of Radium and Radio-active Substances”. Amazing work - ingenious Physics, and knowledgeable and painstaking Chemistry, no wonder why she got both Nobel prizes. Modern scientists could learn a lot from her approach, and I may post some more detailed thoughts elsewhere.
