about

Although I was naturalized French, I have always maintained a strong attachment to my birthplace, Poland, which inspired me the name of one of my discoveries: polonium.
My mother and sister died of infectious diseases while I was still very young, which led me to take refuge in studies where I quickly excelled in all subjects.
I had to leave Poland which did not allow women to pursue higher studies, and it was in Paris that I obtained my physics and mathematics degrees.
There I met Pierre, who became my husband and scientific partner. As a woman, my emancipation was difficult: my name was not always mentioned as part of our joint discoveries, and five years after his death, the scientific community never forgave my affair with another man.
I devoted my research to the radiation produced by uranium, totally unknown at the time.
The discovery of radioactivity will earn me many rewards, and will cause my loss.
I am the first woman to receive the Nobel Prize. I am the only woman to have received two. I am the only person in the world to have received this award in two distinct scientific fields: Physics and Chemistry.

I am Maria Skłodowska, married and known as Curie.
