Gunderson is the master at highlighting the incredible accomplishments of women. This two-person play is about the friendship between Nobel-prize winner Marie Curie and the electromechanical engineer and suffragette Hertha Ayrton. Both women were brilliant and both fought against the sexism and absurd double standards in their field. The audible production of the play is perfect and I would love to see it live. ( ) Spring 2020 (Audible Original Dec); A quick few hours audio dramatization of Marie Curie's life after her husband died, handling her affair and her Nobel Prize and one of her deepest friendship. Yet, what remains truest about this piece, is that it's about Marie finding herself and figuring out who she was without her dearest friend and how to go on forward. I always find myself loving learning more and more about her life. Surprisingly good for a free monthly Audible book. A quick program about the struggles of Marie Curie in the aftermath of some affair (she was widowed; Paul Langevin was separated from his wife at the time), right before winning her second Nobel. Her friendship with the British engineer Hertha Ayrton was portrayed as being key to her overcoming this (although in reality her assistance in WW1 in constructing and operating field x-rays to save allied soldiers at the front was probably more important in rehabilitating her reputation). Overall a very good book, and while I don't really care about the romantic life of Marie Curie, it is interesting how she interacted with her scientific contemporaries, and this is probably in other biographies. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
"In 1912, scientist Marie Curie spent two months on the British seaside at the home of Hertha Ayrton, an accomplished mathematician, inventor, and suffragette. At the time, Curie was in the throes of a scandal in France over her affair with Paul Langevin, which threatened to overshadow the accomplishment of her second Nobel Prize. Performed by Kate Mulgrew and Francesca Faridany at the Minetta Lane Theatre, this play by Lauren Gunderson is an ode to two remarkable women who, despite tremendous personal and professional obstacles, continued to devote their lives to scientific innovation and social change. Playwright Lauren Gunderson was awarded a commission through the Audible Emerging Playwrights Fund, an initiative dedicated to developing innovative original plays driven by language and voice. As an Audible commissioned playwright, she received funding and creative support to develop The Half-Life of Marie Curie--Container. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
