MARIE CURIE: A TWENTIETH – CENTURY WOMAN

1Marya Sklodowaska was born on November 7, 1877, in Poland. Marya’s father wanted his five
children to become well educated. Unfortunately, the family was poor. In fact, Marya worked for six
years to support her older sister Bronya so Bronya could study medicine at the Sorbonne in Paris.
4When Bronya finished medical school in 1891, 23 – year old Marya Sklodowaska went to Paris to
begin her own education.

Once she arrived in Paris, Marya changed her name to the French form, Marie. After living with
Bronya and her husband for a short time, she moved to an inexpensive apartment near the
university 8so she could study without interruption. Marie’s student life was extremely poor, but in
spite of her difficult living conditions, she was happy.

In July 1893, Marie passed her physics examination, first in her class. At this time, she met Pierre
Curie, a young scientist. Marie and Pierre discovered that they had much in common. They both
12believed that science was the most important part of their lives. They didn’t care about money or
about being comfortable. They fell in love, and were married on July 26, 1895. Marie and Pierre
Curie were very happy. They discussed their work and the latest scientific events, such as the
discovery of X rays.1 Marie was interested in this research, and began to look for unknown elements
that had such 16rays. Pierre Curie stopped his own research in order to help Marie in her work. He
realized that she was about to make an important discovery.

In 1898, the Curies found two new elements that give off radiation. They named these elements
polonium and radium. In those days, no one knew that such radioactive materials were dangerous.
20In fact, Marie Curie created the word radioactive to describe these materials. They did not know
that exposure to this radioactivity caused their constant fatigue and illnesses, and they kept
working. Finally, in 1902 thy proved the existence of radium.

On June 25, 1903, Marie became the first woman to receive a doctor of science degree from the
24Sorbonne. Then she received and even greater award. In 1903, the Academy of Science at
Stockholm, Sweden awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics to Marie and Pierre Curie and Henri
Becquerel for their discoveries in radioactivity.

The Curies continued to work closely together until a tragic event occurred. On a rainy day in April,
281906, Pierre was killed in a street accident. Marie was heartbroken, but she continued working.
Then, in 1910, she isolated radium. It was the biggest accomplishment of Marie Curie’s career. In
1911, she received the Nobel Prize again, in Chemistry. She was the first woman to receive the
Nobel Prize and the first person to receive it a second time.

32Over the years, Marie’s constant exposure to radiation continued to destroy her health. She died
on July 4, 1934, from an illness caused by her life’s work: radium. Marie Curie never cared about
making any money from her discoveries. Her life had been one of hard work, perseverance, and
self- sacrifice. However, in her personal life, she was happily married and had two daughters.
36Professionally, she made important discoveries and achieved greatness in her field.
