Online resources: Review: "In 1977, Rosalyn Yalow won the Nobel Prize in Medicine. Known as the "Madame Curie from the Bronx," she was only the second woman in history to do so. In this fascinating biography, Yalow's close friend and colleague Eugene Straus reveals her remarkable story of scientific achievement and triumph. Describing in intimate detail her long, fruitful research partnership with the brilliant physician Solomon Berson, Straus gives an insider's account of their discovery of a revolutionary technique for determining the exact concentration of hormones in blood. Sensitive yet probing, Straus examines the extraordinary intelligence and determination that led Yalow to overcome countless obstacles--she sought to pursue graduate studies in physics when few women or Jews were welcome--and her complex role as a world-class scientist, wife, and mother. Book jacket."--Jacket.
