...the birthday of Maria Sklodowska-Curie. A remarkable person and scientist; the MSN article below offers a very brief summary. One of her daughters, Eve Curie, had actually written an excellent book about her, titled "Madame Curie" (which had been translated into English and can be bought, on Amazon or elsewhere, if you are so inclined). I remember it is a book aimed at older children.
