Marie Curie Festival | University of London | September 2011 AOC Sexual Politics

Anne of Carversville is supporting the upcoming University of Westminster Marie Curie festival in September 2011. My friend artist and feminist Magdalena Rutkowska is one of the organisers of a celebration of Marie Curie’s life at a time when it is imperative that more young women choose careers in science.

In 2011 when many countries are celebrating the official year of chemistry and the 100-year anniversary of the award of Madame Curie’s Nobel Prize for Chemistry, it is pertinent to strive to find out more about the circumstances in the life of the woman herself, creating this amazing scientist and a caring and independent woman at the same time.
