When the subject of women in atomic science is mentioned, Marie Curie's name immediately leaps to mind. Many other women also worked in the field, but their names have been forgotten. A Devotion to Their Science reclaims this first generation of women researchers in radioactivity, providing new insights into the contribution of women to atomic science and dispelling the myth that this field was essentially a male preserve.
