Sweet wee animation from the BBC on this amazing woman. Notes problems she faced due to her sex.

Also recommend the book 'Finding wonders 'by Jeannine Atkins, biographies of three women scientists told in poems.

Thanks, Errol.

'- the only British woman scientist to win a Nobel prize.' - the only one?!?!

There have only been 7 women winners of the Nobel prize for chemistry in total, and two of them were Curies.

I've just watched that, OP - definitely one to remember when people are looking for 'women in science' for their kids!

Yes, definitely!

Also this, I've been reading with my DD -
