Marie Curie A Scientist’s Courage Marie Curie-Sklodowska was one of the most brilliant scientists in history and a pioneer in every possible way: she was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize; the first to be a professor at the Sorbonne; the first person to be awarded twice with the Nobel Prize and, to this day, the only one who has achieved it in two different scientific areas. Despite all this recognition, she was never allowed to enter the French Academy, an obvious case of sexist discrimination. However, today we know that the importance of all her contributions to society is incalculable. Both the register of the narrative and the style of the images are appropriate for schoolchildren between 8 and 11 years old. The text and the images make sure to deal with pedagogical threads that traverse the characters’ scope of activity, both for family readings at home and at school, supporting the educational program. Additionally, throughout the narrative the reader will find all the information necessary to appropriately situate the figure in a socio-historical context.
