Marie Curie was a famous scientist who was most famous for discovering two radioactive elements(放射性元素). She also invented a great machine which helped over one million soldiers.
Marie Curie was born in Poland on November 7, 1867. When she grew older, Marie wanted to go to university and learn all about physics. Unluckily, at that time women were not allowed to study in Poland. Marie had to move to France where she was allowed to go to university.

After she had learned all about physics at university, Marie worked in a lab with her husband, Pierre Curie. During this time, Marie made great progress and discovered two radioactive elements which had never been seen before. Because of her amazing discoveries and work in science, Marie Curie became the first woman ever to win a Nobel Prize. A few years later, Marie went on to win a second Nobel Prize which made her the first person ever to win two Nobel Prizes.
When World War Ⅰ started, Marie knew she had to do something to help. Marie realized wounded soldiers recovered better if they were treated quickly. So she decided to invent a machine which could help soldiers close to the front.
