Marie Curie is the first woman in history to win a Nobel Prize, and she is the ONLY person to win the Nobel Prize in two different scientific fields (Physics in 1903 and Chemistry in 1911)!
đ Quick Chapter Overview
This chapter is a biography of the legendary scientist Marie Curie. Born in Poland, she faced many hardships under Russian rule. Because women couldn't enroll in regular universities, she studied at a secret 'Flying University' before moving to Paris. She worked tirelessly, surviving on very little, and eventually married Pierre Curie. Together, they discovered Polonium and Radium, leading to her winning two Nobel Prizes. During WWI, she helped wounded soldiers using portable X-ray machines. She died from illness caused by long-term exposure to radiation, leaving behind a legacy as one of the greatest scientists ever.
