“The Story of Madam Curie” (in Persian), by Alice Thorne is a biographical novel that delves into the life and achievements of the pioneering scientist Marie Curie. The novel beautifully portrays Curie’s dedication to her work, her groundbreaking discoveries in radioactivity, and the personal challenges she faced as a woman in a male-dominated field.
