Nata in Via delle Cento Stelle a Firenze il 12 giugno 1922, Margherita hack non poteva che diventare un'astrofisica di fama mondiale. Eppure lei non ha mai creduto al destino: credeva invece nel merito, nella possibilità di realizzare i propri sogni. Lei che di sogni ne aveva tantissimi: dall'atletica, in cui sperava di conquistare una medaglia alle Olimpiadi, alla bici, con la quale fu amore a prima vista, fino alle stelle, scoperte a scuola un po' per caso e che le hanno illuminato il cammino fino ad arrivare alla guida dell'osservatorio astronomico di Trieste.

For the last 20 years, Dr. Hawa Abdi and her daughters have run a refugee camp on their family farm not far from war-torn Mogadishu, which has grown to shelter 90,000 displaced Somalis: men, women, and children whose lives have been shattered by violence and poverty and who are in urgent need of medical attention. She founded a one-room clinic in 1983, but then the Somalian government collapsed, famine struck and aid groups fled. So she allowed displaced people to find refuge on her 1300 acres of farmland.

Autobiografia Marii Skłodowskiej-Curie to rzeczowa relacja z życia dwukrotnej laureatki nagrody Nobla. Autorka stawia na odtworzenie faktów, dzielenie się swoimi przemyśleniami, unikając przy tym górnolotnych słów i wygładzonej autokreacji. Jej opowieść daleka jest od stawiania sobie pomnika i budowania mitu. Skłodowska jako pisarka nie przestaje nigdy być naukowcem. Publikacja maluje obraz lat dzieciństwa i dorastania w Polsce w czasach zaborów. Odtwarza późniejsze życie obdarzonej wybitnym umysłem emigrantki, która za sprawą pracowitości i konsekwencji zostaje wybitną uczoną.
