Madame Curie was born in Warsaw, Poland in 1867, when Poland was controlled by Russia. Her parents were teachers, and she learned the importance of education at an early age.
Her mother died when she was young, and when her father was caught because of teaching Polish, which had been made illegal under the Russian government, she had to get a job. Years later she went to Paris to study physics and maths. After graduation, she started the research on magnetism (磁力学).
For the research she wanted to do, she needed more space than her small lab. A friend introduced her to Pierre Curie, another young scientist, who had some extra rooms. Not only did Marie move her equipment into his lab, but also she and Pierre fell in love and got married. For the discovery of radium, Marie and Pierre won a Nobel Prize for Physics in 1903. Also for this work, she was given the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1911.
During the First World War, Marie Curie knew that taking soldiers to a hospital when they needed operations was not always possible, so she designed the first moving Xray machine and travelled with it along the front lines during the war.
On July 4th, 1934, Marie Curie died in Paris, killed by one of her own experiments. She died of radiation poisoning. For her struggles, she received two Nobel Prizes — the first woman to win even one. Thanks to the knowledge she gained, thousands of lives have been saved.
Great knowledge, however, is often a twoedged sword. Without the work she did we might not have many modern cancer treatments, or atomic clocks, or even the computers we use every day. But through her work with radioactivity she can also be considered as “the mother of the atomic bomb”.
