Glowing Woman

She didn't shatter the glass ceilings, she shattered the sky and stars fell in her lap. They barred her from science clubs but she built her own constellations. She arrived in Paris hungry for knowledge fed herself with formulas and ambition was satiated. They gave her frostbitten ceilings but she warmed them with equations. She wasn't stuck by a Cupid's arrow she steadied the bow and hit the right heart. They shared notebooks and moonlight but she lost him to a wrong deviation. She discovered a new glowing element, covered herself with radiation and lit up rooms for women. They stood up for her at the Nobel ceremony, but misogyny rewrote the citation.
