Maria was ten years old. In 3 years, Maria's oldest sibling, Zofia, had died of typhus
contracted from a boarder In 1891, she went to Paris to continue her studies at the
Sorbonne where she obtained her degree in Physics and the Mathematical Sciences. She
met Pierre Curie, Professor in the School of Physics in 1894. They got married in 1895. In
1897, her daughter Irène was born. On 19 April 1906, Pierre Curie was killed in a road
accident. After the tragic death of Pierre Curie in 1906, she took his place as Professor of
General Physics in the Faculty of Sciences. She was also appointed as the Director of the
Curie Laboratory in the Radium Institute of the University of Paris.

Marie Curie was the first woman to receive a Ph.D. in France. The first woman to win the
Nobel Prize. When Marie Curie and her husband Pierre won the Nobel Prize for physics in
1903 and another Noble Prize in 1911. for her discovery of radium and polonium and the
study of radiation in Chemistry. and the study of radiation. She was the first woman who
won 2 Nobel Prizes. Irène and her husband, Frédéric Joliot, also won a Nobel prize in

husband, Henry Labouisse, received the Nobel Peace Prize on behalf of UNICEF run by them

More than 150 years after her birth, Marie Curie remains one of the most famous female
scientists. Marie Curie's research in the field of radioactivity was of great importance for
science and medicine. A month after accepting her 1911 Nobel Prize, she was hospitalised
with depression and a kidney ailment. Curie visited Poland for the last time in early 1929.
She was exposed to the radiation and died in 1934.

Marie Curie was an icon in the scientific world and received 2 Nobel Prizes for her excellent
research work. She is my inspiration because she sacrificed her health for the society. I
think that Marie Curie is a great woman who was the first woman to received 2 nobel prizes.
She has helped the society with her inventions and dedicated her entire family for
researching in science and development. I feel great to talk about her.
