Marie Curie was a great scientist who won two Nobel Prizes. She was born in Warsaw, Poland in 1867. At that time, women in Poland could not go to college. So she had to work for many years to save enough money to study in Paris.

In Paris, she lived in a small cold room and studied very hard. Sometimes she was so busy reading that she forgot to eat. Later, she married Pierre Curie, a scientist. Together, they worked in a small dirty lab and discovered radium in 1898. Radium is a special element that gives off energy.

In 1903, they won the Nobel Prize in Physics. After Pierre died in a car accident, Marie kept working alone. In 1911, she won a second Nobel Prize, this time in Chemistry. She was the first person in history to win two Nobel Prizes.
