Trang 11Marie 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 weight of radium But her
real joy was “easing human suffering” The founding of the Radium Institute in
1914 made her humanitarian which come true
