 Marie Skłodowska-
Curie was a French-
Polish physicist and
chemist, famous for her
pioneering research
on radioactivity.
 She was the first
woman to win a Nobel
Prize and the only
woman to win in two
fields.
 She was also the first female professor at
the University of Paris, and in 1995 became the
first woman to be entombed on her own merits in
the Panthéon in Paris.
 She studied at Warsaw's clandestine Floating
University and began her practical scientific
training in Warsaw. In 1891, aged 24, she
followed her older sister Bronisława to study in
Paris, where she earned her higher degrees and
conducted her subsequent scientific work.
 She shared her 1903 Nobel Prize in Physics with
her husband Pierre Curie and with physicist Henri
Becquerel. She was the sole winner of the
1911 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
 During World War I, Curie saw
a need for field radiological
centers near the front lines to
assist battlefield surgeons.
 After a quick study of
radiology, anatomy and
automotive mechanics she
procured x-ray equipment
which came to be popularly
known as petites Curies.
 She became the Director of
the Red Cross Radiology
Service and set up France's first
military radiology centre,
operational by late 1914.
 In 1915, Curie produced
hollow needles containing
'radium emanation', a
colorless, radioactive gas
given off by radium, later
identified as radon, to be
used for sterilizing infected
tissue.
 It is estimated that over
one million wounded
soldiers were treated with
her x-ray units.
 In 1900, Curie became the first woman faculty member at
the École Normale Supérieure, and her husband joined
the Sorbonne's faculty.
 Between 1898 and 1902, the Curies published, jointly or
separately, a total of 32 scientific papers, including one
that announced that diseased, tumor-forming cells were
destroyed faster than healthy cells when exposed
to radium.
 During the French Academy of Sciences elections, she was
vilified by the right wing press, who criticised her for
being a foreigner and an atheist.
 Marie had begun her scientific career in Paris
with an investigation of the magnetic properties
of various steels, commissioned by the Society for
the Encouragement of National Industry.
 That same year Pierre Curie entered her life; it
was their mutual interest in natural sciences that
drew them together.
 Pierre was an instructor at
the School of Physics and
Chemistry, the École
supérieure de physique et
de chimie industrielles de
la ville de Paris.
 They were introduced by
Professor Józef Wierusz-
Kowalski, who had learned
that Marie was looking for a
larger laboratory
space, something that
Wierusz-Kowalski thought
Pierre had access to.
In 1895, Wilhelm Roentgen discovered the
existence of X-rays, though the mechanism
behind their production was not yet
understood.
In 1896, Henri Becquerel discovered
that uranium salts emitted rays that
resembled X-rays in their penetrating power.
He demonstrated that this radiation,
unlike phosphorescence, did not depend
on an external source of energy, but seemed
to arise spontaneously from uranium itself.
 Marie decided to look into uranium rays as
a possible field of research for a thesis.
 In July 1898, Curie and her
husband published a paper
together, announcing the
existence of an element
which they named
"polonium", in honour of her
native Poland, which would
for another twenty years
remain partitioned among
three empires.
 On 26 December 1898, the
Curies announced the
existence of a second
element, which they named
"radium", from
the Latin word for "ray”.
 As one of the most famous female
scientists to date, she has become an
icon in the scientific world and has
received tributes from across the
globe, even in the realm of pop
culture.
 Awards that she received :
 Nobel Prize in Physics (1903)
 Davy Medal (1903, with Pierre)
 Matteucci Medal (1904; with Pierre)
 Elliott Cresson Medal (1909)
 Nobel Prize in Chemistry (1911)
 Soviet postage stamp (1987)
