This photograph shows Marie Curie during World War 1. I used it for my website to

show how Curie looked at the time, reflect on how far she had come with her discovery,

and now how she was using what she knows to help toward the war effort despite how

old she was.

During the 19th century, women had follow strict societal beliefs, but because Marie

Curie made new scientific discoveries, I wanted to show how people during the time

thought about the discoveries of Marie Curie. It explains how it was “strange” to see a

women would share the discovery of an element for scientific purposes and not for the

money.

This website was useful because it explained Marie Curie in detail, and also explained the

science between her discoveries. Other websites I found were difficult to understand

because of the scientific language of Physics and Chemistry, but this website simplified
 what Marie Curie had discovered in an understandable way. This website also discussed

things about Curie’s life that other did not.

“Marie Curie Quotes (Author of La Vita Non è Facile, e Allora?).” ​Goodreads,​ Goodreads,

I used Goodreads to include quotes in the websites. In every page of my website, I

included a quote from Marie Curie relating to what I was discussing.

This secondary source specifically talked about how Marie Curie used X- rays in world

War 1. I used it because it was one of Curie’s great inventions, and it helped save

millions of lives during the war. This website also included a picture of a “radiological

car” that showed what Curie’s creation look like.

The Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica. “Marie Curie.” ​Encyclopædia Britannica,​

This is another useful website because Britannica provided many photographs of Marie

Curie, and it helped visualize my writing.

“The Marie Curie Institute.” ​Marie Curie US​, 2014, ​www.mariecurie-usa.org/​.

I used this website because it had photographs of Marie Curie when she was young, and

it also shortly and briefly talked about her life.

Nobel Prize - NobelPrize.org,​

this website gave me a visual on the event of Marie Curie, and it helped me understand

better on who she was.
