This series will tell the amazing stories of inspiring people who have made a difference and changed the world, despite the odds stacked against them. They will detail the characters' humble origins, the obstacles standing in their way that had to be overcome, and discuss the successes and achievements for which they are lauded today. This book tells the story of Marie Curie, who discovered radium and realized its potential for treating cancer. She succeeded in her work in a time when science and research were not seen as suitable occupations for women.
"This well-researched and lucidly written series takes on various figures who have overcome obstacles. The books offer colorful presentation and incorporate references to contemporary popular culture where appropriate. . . .These engaging and solidly reported biographies will appeal to students looking for inspirational stories." - School Library Journal
