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 harboured the dream of a 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 Sorbone In 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 in the School of Physics in 1894 and a year later they got married From then on, they worked together on their research In 1903, Marie became the first woman to receive a PhD from the Sorbone

After the tragic death of Pierre Curie in 1906, she took up the position which her

husband was obtained at the Sorbone Thus, she was the first woman in France to be 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 wish come true
