    Marie Curie was born in Warsaw on November 7th,
    1867. She received general education in local schools
    and some scientific training from her father.
    As a brilliant and mature student, Marie Curie
    harboured the dream of scientific career, which was
    impossible for a woman at that time. To save money for
    a study tour abroad, she had to work as a private
    tutor, and her studies were interrupted.
    Finally, in 1891, Marie, with very little money to
    live on, went to Paris to realise her dream at the
    Sorbonne. On spite of her difficult living conditions,
    she worked extremely hard. She earned a degree in
    Physics with flying colours , and went on to take
    another degree in Mathematics. She met Pierre Curie
    in the school of Physics in 1894 and a year later they
    got married. From then on, they work together on
    their research. In 1903, Marie became the first woman
    to receive a PhD from the Sorbonne. After the tragic
    death of Pierre Curie in 1906, she took up the position
    which her husband had obtained at the Sorbonne.
    Thus, she was the first woman in France to be at a
    university professor. Soon after, she was awarded a
    Nobel Prize in Chemistry for determining the atomic
