Description

Marie Curie was born in Warsaw, Poland, on November 7, 1867. Due to the male-only University of Warsaw's exclusion policy, she pursued her education at the Sorbonne in Paris instead.

It was during her studies that Marie met Pierre Curie, a professor who would become her husband and scientific partner. Together, they made groundbreaking discoveries, including the identification of two elements, which earned them a Nobel Prize in 1903. This achievement marked just the beginning of their illustrious careers.

Marie's life was cut short when she died on July 4, 1934, due to prolonged exposure to toxic radiation. Her legacy as a pioneering scientist continues to inspire and educate readers today.
