<\/strong>Nowadays it is increasingly common for people to work on their own, but many of these people give up because they do not know anything about the subject or find something too complex to do or achieve. But MARIE's story is a great example of achievements and effort and learning for these people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Maria Salomea Sk\u0142odowska was born in Warsaw (Poland) on November 7, 1867, she was the youngest daughter among her five siblings. Marie had a very difficult childhood, as she lost her mother at just 10 years old. She also had a lot of difficulties studying because she had a bad financial life, and because the best women were not admitted to universities in Poland. <\/p>\n\n\n\n However, influenced by her father, who was a professor of mathematics and physics, she decided to continue her studies. She started first at a clandestine university in Poland, then continued her studies autonomously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Later he entered a university in Paris where he graduated in Mathematics in Physics. Where she also worked as a governess and teacher, means of paying for her studies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n After graduating, to continue her investigations, Marie needed a laboratory, it was when a friend, in 1894, introduced her and Pierre Curie, a renowned physicist of the time who ended up becoming her husband and sharing science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So Marie followed her goals by learning and discovering new things. It was then that for so much effort and dedication Marie got her first Nobel Prize in 1903, awarded together with her husband and Henri Becquerel, due to their incredible discoveries in the fields of Radiation. And then after these events she gets a doctorate in science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But unfortunately after a few years her beloved Pierre passes away and she takes his place teaching General Physics at the prestigious Sabonne university, after a long time Marie was the first woman to attend this university.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A few years passed and in 1911 Marie received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for discovering new elements in the field of chemistry, called radium and polonium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Over the years Marie founded the Curie Institute in Paris in 1914. In her institute she sought to investigate the medical applications of radium in cancer patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n During the years of World War I, Marie created mobile radiography units to be used among wounded soldiers. With her daughter Ir\u00e8ne, she went to hospitals with the aim of convincing doctors to use her invention to save the lives of combatants (soldiers). And with all her efforts Marie managed to save several lives during the First World War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
