Marie Curie was the first woman to graduate with a degree in Physical Sciences and the first woman to receive the Nobel Prize in Physics, which she won in 1903 along with her husband Pierre Curie. She was a Polish-French physicist and chemist who passed away at age 66 in France. Marie Curie faced challenges as a woman and foreigner pursuing her scientific career in Paris in a time of xenophobia and male dominance. She overcame adversity through strength and perseverance. Tragically, her work with radioactive materials took a toll on her health and she ultimately died of leukemia caused by years of exposure to radiation in her laboratory without proper protection.

Reasons why I admire her
5 Because everything was strength and overcoming
his mother died of tuberculosis when he was 10 years
old, and his older sister did it a few years after the typhus. 6 Because he fought against xenophobia and machismo
• She was a woman and a foreigner in Paris. Each
achievement he obtained cost him twice as much as any of his peers. But, with tenacity and effort, Madame Curie managed to stand out in a time where machismo and xenophobia were present everywhere. 7 Because she sacrificed her life for science
Ironically, it was the radioactivity that ended up
killing her. He died of leukemia on July 4, 1934, at the age of 67, after decades of suffering the harmful effects of radio due to the number of hours in the laboratory without protection. 8 1/2/20XX
