Marie Curie, crochet pattern for left-handers

Here is Marie Curie, the next pattern in my series of iconic left-handers.
Marie Curie was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize and is still the only person who won a Nobel Prize in both physics and chemistry, making her an amazing role model for every little girl who is interested in science.
Even more, when this girl is left-handed and her science-teacher keeps insulting her for being left-handed like mine did with me. Knowing that Marie was left-handed, too, would have been extremely helpful in that situation. Unfortunately, I only found out about that several years after graduating.
So, I hope that this doll and the knowledge that one of the most brilliant scientists in history was left-handed will help other girls in the same situation not to lose interest in science.
