520    "At the turn of the century, Paris was a hotbed of 
       creativity. 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
