Obsessive Genius: The Inner World Of Madame Curie

Sophie Germain was born April 1st of 1776, an era of revolution. The American Revolution began around the year of her birth. Then thirteen years passed when the French Revolution began in her own country. In many ways Sophie personified the spirit of revolution into which she was born. She was a middle class female who went against the wishes of her family and the social prejudices of the time to become a highly recognized mathematician. Like the member of a revolution, her life was full of determination, up and downhill struggles. It took a long time for her to be recognized and appreciated for her contributions to the field of mathematics, but she did not give up. Because she was a woman she was never given as much credit as she was due

The main subject of the painting is Madame de Pompadour, who sits half reclining, engulfed by yards and yards of colorful fabrics, with gilded furnishings and flowers galore, a celebratory painting of a “femme savant” (Goodman 1), at ease in her surroundings. Books and papers fill the scene, proclaiming her intellectual prowess. An educated woman, Pompadour is

There are many influential people all throughout history but today we are only going to talk about two. Christopher Columbus and Marie Curie are too brave and fierce people who followed their dream no matter what. Even though they have their differences they have a lot in common.Both people lived in extreme living quarters and suffered from horrible diseases. These are amazing people who have definitely made their mark on history and our world even to this day.

The art movement was on the rise during the advent of the seventeenth century, as it was a time when the baroque movement, which was distinguished by exaggerated dynamism and clear detail, flourished. Art during this period aimed to embody clear detail to represent the drama and grandeur. Rulers such as Marie de Medici sought to captivate on this new art movement by using it as a way to promote the power they had and the legitimacy of their reign. Marie commissioned the renowned Peter Paul Rubens to paint a series of twenty-four paintings in order to vindicate her triumph as the queen of France. Rubens did just that, as he re-envisioned the entire style propaganda through art during the period, using the paintings as a way to allegorize

The reason why Anne Frank doesn't let them get very sad because she is too busy making people mad and if they are mad then it is very hard to be sad. In act 1 scene three she steals Peter’s shoes and then runs around with them trying to keep them from Peter. Peter gets very mad and then takes them back to go and feed his little fat cat. He at the time is very mad and not at all sad. Later that day she came out of Peter’s room and was dressed like him. In the narrator's lines it says something along the line of Peter being filled with fury and all the parents being slightly amused. She then throws his clothes down the stairs and when he walks to his room she trips him and makes him even more enraged. So she makes them all mad and so they aren't

How do you tell the story of someone history erased? This question is what fueled Clifton Crais and Pamela Scully to investigate the life of Sara Baartman the woman who became the Hottentot Venus. Crais and Scully present their biography as the in-depth untold story Sara Baartman that previous scholars overlooked. Their goal is to give Baartman back her identity as a woman who became a historical icon in her journey navigating a colonial Cape Town and Enlightenment Europe. However, their reliance on assumptions and speculation, a lack of Baartman 's voice, and a disproportionate focus on European men throughout the biography hinder their ability to present a concrete telling of Sara Baartman 's life where she is the main source of her own narrative. The unfortunate significance behind their failure to bring Sara fully into her own experience is that Crais and Scully created yet another coopted representation of Sara 's life, restriping her of the identity they wanted to restore.

Marie Sophie Germain was born in Rue Saint-Denis, Paris, France, on April 1, 1776, in a wealthy Persian family. Ambroise-Francois, her father, was a rich man who was assumed to be a wealthy silk merchant, or a goldsmith. Ambroise was elected as the representative of the bourgeoisie to Etats-Généraux en 1789, which had involved his daughter to witness many discussions with her father and his peers. When she was 13, The French Revolution broke out. Enforcing her to remain indoors,as she turned to her father’s library to take away her boredom where she became interested in mathematics. Pouring her time into each book as she had taught herself Latin and Greek, allowing her to read other famous mathematicians work such as Isaac Newton.

After a concise biographical sketch of Calamity and a summary of the shifting interpretations of her life over the past century that contributed to her legend, the bulk of the volume collates and annotates

Bertha Pappenheim is perhaps most famous for Josef Breuer’s study of (and writing about) her, but his treatment lasted only a couple of years—she herself spent nearly thirteen years, between 1882 and 1895, actively attempting to reconstruct herself. The aim of this reconstruction was to grow not only from her illness but also from her previous life as a bourgeois homemaker, from the healthy aspects of her grief for her father, and (perhaps most notably) from her immense emotional reliance on Breuer himself. In fact, far more effectively than when working with Breuer, Pappenheim’s own agency and motivation helped her to move successfully from her previous private fantasies into a new context of major political and social change. It is possible to examine Pappenheim’s later life in terms of her illness and subsequent treatment—and indeed, her experience with illness and her relationship

I am genuinely interested in researching Marie Curie as a possible heroic figure. I learned about her in my chemistry class, when I was writing about the element polonium (an extremely dangerous element). In my eyes, Curie is a possible heroine because “A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself”(Campbell). In our society, advancement in science is one of the most prominent achievements because it expands our horizon and allows us to explain this complex world we live in. As I learned about her, I immediately thought of Curie as She-Hulk because she was constantly exposed to radiation, which is typically how heroes are created in comics and television shows. When that connection came to my mind I realized

Marie Curie was a physicist and chemist and that was her field of study during her life and this is the reason why she discovered radiation because she was always studying chemistry and physics. Marie Curie was the youngest child in a family of five. 1891 is when Marie Curie first moved to Paris, France to further pursue her scientific research at the Sorbonne. In France, Maria decided to changed her name to Marie and left her name as Marie butt, she met a man named Pierre Curie and got married to him, changing her name to Marie Curie. Marie Curie is one of the most famous scientists in the world because of the discoveries she made.

Marie curie made history in 1903 when she became the first woman to get a Nobel Prize in physics. With their prize winning the Curie’s got an international reputation for their scientific efforts. With the prize money they continued their research and went even further. The next year in 1904, they had their second daughter Eve. In 1906 Marie suffered a tremendous loss; when Pierre accidentally
