Maria Sklodowska was born in Warsaw in 1867. She was the daughter of a secondary-school teacher. She
studied in local schools and received some training in science from her father. Because women were not
able to attend university in Poland in the 19th century, Maria left Poland to study at a French university in
1891. Now known by the French name Marie, she worked hard in a laboratory that was owned by Pierre
Curie.
Pierre Curie was born in
Paris in 1859. He received
his early education at
home and then joined
the Faculty of Sciences
at the Sorbonne. He was
promoted to Professor in
1900.
Marie and Pierre Curie
got married in 1895.
Although poor, they
were devoted to
each other and their
research. Their studies of
radioactive substances
were carried out under
difficult conditions.
Their laboratory facilities
were hardly adequate
and they had to do a lot
of teaching to earn a
living.
In 1898, the couple discovered the elements Polonium and Radium. They
eventually won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1903 for the discovery of
radioactivity. When Pierre died in 1906, Marie honored his memory by
continuing their work. In 1911, Marie Curie won another Nobel Prize, this
time for chemistry. She was the first person to win the Nobel Prize twice.
