Why yes, I did read this entire book on a single flight 🙃 I thought I might struggle with this one because of the sciencey stuff, but it wasn't too dense at all, honestly the opposite because I was totally engrossed with the life of this woman who I absolutely didn't know anything about before reading this. It also kinda made me want to read The Radium Girls again.

I'm also now a confirmed, avid Marie Benedict obsessor. I just love everything she writes, I love how much research she puts into her books and how they're all about shining a light on the women of history and their accomplishments that have been ignored or erased or hidden.
