Technology boomed, delivering to the world electric light, the automobile, and new ways to treat disease, while imagination blossomed, creating Art Nouveau, motion pictures, and modernist literature. A pivotal figure during this time, yet largely forgotten today, Loie Fuller was an American performance artist who became a living symbol of the Art Nouveau movement with her hypnotic dances and stunning theatrical effects. Credited today as the pioneer of modern dance, she was perennially broke, never took no for an answer, spent most of her life with a female partner, and never questioned her drive. She was a visionary, a renegade, and a loyal friend. In the early 1900s, she heard about Marie Curie's discovery of a glowing blue element and dreamed of using it to dazzle audiences on stage. While Loie's dream wouldn't be realized, her connection with Marie and their shared fascination with radium endured. RADIANT is the true story of Marie Curie and Loie Fuller, two revolutionary women drawn together at the dawn of a new era by a singular discovery, and the lifelong friendship that grew out of their shared passion for enlightenment"--|cProvided by publisher. 600 10 Fuller, Loie,|d1862-1928. 600 10 Curie, Marie,|d1867-1934|xFriends and associates. 600 17 Curie, Marie,|d1867-1934.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00064685 600 17 Fuller, Loie,|d1862-1928.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00030662 650 0 Women dancers|zUnited States|vBiography. 650 0 Women physicists|zFrance|vBiography. 650 0 Women scientists|zFrance|vBiography. 650 0 Modern dance|zFrance|xHistory. 650 0 Stage lighting|xHistory. 650 0 Radium|xSocial aspects. 650 7 Friendship.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00935174 650 7 Modern dance.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01024421 650 7 Stage lighting.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01131318 650 7 Women dancers.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01177550 650 7 Women physicists.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01178305 650 7 Women scientists.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01178507 651 7 France.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204289 651 7 United States.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 Biographies.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 History.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 Biographies.|2lcgft 914 MID.b26653953 994 C0|bCKE
