Making Marie Curie : intellectual property and celebrity culture in an age of information / / Eva Hemmungs Wirtén.   Author:  Hemmungs Wirtén, Eva, author. Title:  Making Marie Curie : intellectual property and celebrity culture in an age of information / / Eva Hemmungs Wirtén. Edition:  Paperback edition. Publisher:  Chicago : University of Chicago Press, 2016. Copyright:  ©2015 Description:  223 pages : illustrations ; 22 cm. Series:  Science, culture Summary:  "Eva Hemmungs Wirtén, by tracing a career that spans two centuries and a world war, provides an innovative and historically grounded account of how modern science emerges in tandem with celebrity culture under the influence of intellectual property in a dawning age of information. She explores the emergence of the Curie persona, the information culture of the period that shaped its development, and the strategies Curie used to manage and exploit her intellectual property. How did one create and maintain for oneself the persona of scientist at the beginning of the twentieth century? What special conditions bore upon scientific women, and on married women in particular? How was French identity claimed, established, and subverted? How, and with what consequences, was a scientific reputation secured? In its exploration of these questions and many more, Making Marie Curie provides a composite picture not only of the making of Marie Curie, but the making of modern science itself."--Publisher's description.
