teacher of science and mathematics in a school in the town.

Maria’s wish was to study at the Sorbonne in Paris.
She finally left her native land in 1891.

Marie Curie was born in Warsaw on 7 November, 1867.

From him little Maria Sklodowska - which was her Polish name - learned her first lessons in science.

study and simple living.

Night after night, after her hard day’s work at the university, she got to her poor furnished room and worked at her books steadily for hours.

She determined to work for two Master’s degrees - one in Physics, the other in Mathematics.

She lived in the poorest quarter of Paris.

a doctor, and from early childhood he had been fascinated by science.

Perrie Curie

Among the many scientists Maria met and worked with in Paris was Pierre Curie.

was famous throughout Europe for his discoveries in magnitism.

But in spite of the honour he had brought to France by his discoveries, the French Government could only give him a very small salary as a reward, and the University of Paris refused him a laboratory of his own for his research.

At sixteen he was a Bachelor of Science, and he took his Master’s degree in Physics when he was eighteen.

also the greatest scientific partnerships.

Marie and Pierre Curie get married

Pierre and Maria Sklodowska very soon became the closest friends.
They worked together constantly and discussed many problems of their researches.
After little more than a year they fell in love with each other, and in 1895 Maria Sklodowska became Mme. Curie.

Marie had been the greatest woman scientist of her day but she was a mother too, a very loving one. There were their two little girls, Irene and Eve.

degree in Physics and Mathematics, and was busy with researches on steel.
She now wished to obtain a Doctor’s degree.
For this it was necessary to offer to the examiners a special study, called a thesis.

work of a French scientist named Becquerel.

The Curies got interested in these rays of uranium. What caused them? How strong were they? There were many such questions that puzzled Marie Curie and her husband. Here, they decided, was the very subject for Marie’s Doctors thesis.

There is a rare metal called uranium which, as Becquerel discovered, emits rays very much like X-rays. These rays made marks on photographic plate when it was wrapped in black paper.

had to use an old store room at the University as her laboratory - she was a refused a better room.

Experiments with pitchblende.

Marie Curie wanted to find out if other chemical substances might emit similar rays. So she began to examine every known chemical substance.

It was cold, there was no proper apparatus and very little space for research work. Soon she discovered that the rays of uranium were like no other known rays.

Once after repeating her experiments time after time she found that a mineral called pitchblende emitted much more powerful rays than any she had already found.

and Mme. Curie decided to call a new element «radium»,

Marie and Pierre discovered a new element

because it was more strongly radioactive than any known metal.

Nobel Prize in Physics.

In 1911 Marie received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. But the second prize went to her alone for in 1906 Pierre had died tragically in a
traffic accident.

Mme. Sklodowwska - Curie, the leading woman scientist, the greatest woman of her generation, has become the first person to receive a Nobel Prize twice.

the completion of her work on radioactivity

FromMarie she learned all about radiology and chose science for her carrier.

Her daughter Irene grew into a woman with the same interests as her mother’s and she was deeply interested in her mother’s work.

mother had begun.
In 1935 Irene and her husband won the Nobel Proze for their discovery of artificial radioactivity.

So, Marie lived to see the completion of the great work, but she died on the eve of the award.

At twenty nine she married Fredric Joliot, a brilliant scientist at the Institute of Radium, which her parents had founded.
