The successful, “exceptional … poignant– and clinically lucid– portrait” (New York Times Book Evaluation) of the remarkable Marie Curie. Through household interviews, diaries, letters, and workbooks that had been sealed for over sixty years, Barbara Goldsmith reveals the Marie Curie behind the misconception– an all-too-human lady struggling to stabilize a spectacular clinical career, a requiring household, the bias of society, and her own passionate nature. Obsessive Genius is a spectacular portrait of Curie, her amazing clinical success, and the price she paid for popularity.
