Marie Curie

“When I was studying, alone and poor in Paris, I lived on the joy of learning and understanding”

Get­ting into uni­ver­sity and gai­ning sci­en­ti­fic know­ledge was not easy for women for cen­tu­ries. Howe­ver, last cen­tury a girl born in Poland became the most famous woman sci­en­tist in his­tory. Over time, and over­co­ming all sorts of obs­ta­cles, she had extra­or­di­nary suc­cess: two Nobel pri­zes, one in phy­sics and one in che­mistry. When the First World War broke out (1914-1918), Marie Curie worked tire­lessly so that sci­ence could help the woun­ded sol­di­ers at the front. Thanks to her dedi­ca­tion a score of cars were adap­ted to carry x-ray mac­hi­nes.
