Join Barbara Goldsmith, Tamar Schlick, and Lynn Sherr for a discussion of the life and work of Marie Curie, subject of Ms. Goldsmith's latest book, `Obsessive Genius: The Inner World of Marie Curie.' `Obsessive Genius' has been praised by the New York Times Book Review section as a `poignant -- and scientifically lucid - portrait' of this remarkable scientist and the social and economic barriers that she faced throughout her lifetime. 

Ms. Goldsmith is a noted author, scholar and historian and has received numerous awards for her literary accomplishments and commitment to human rights, including election to the Academy of Arts and Sciences and the President's Commission on the Celebration of Women in American History.
