Marie Curie

(7 November 1867 – 4 July 1934)

Marie Curie was a pioneering physicist and chemist who made

groundbreaking discoveries in the field of radioactivity. Although Curie
faced discrimination as a woman in science, her passion for knowledge
led her to study in Paris.
Curie discovered radioactivity along with her husband Pierre Curie
and Henri Becquerel. In 1903, she became the first woman to win the
Nobel Prize in Physics for this discovery, and a few years later, in 1911,
she received her second Nobel Prize in Chemistry. This made her the first
person to win a Nobel Prize in two different fields of science.
Throughout his life, Curie advocated the use of radiation in medicine
and pioneered cancer treatments, saving countless lives.
Marie Curie died in 1934, but her contributions to science and
humanity continue to reflect her talent and perseverance.
