Marie Curie With Female Students,
Curie was less well known for her encouragement of female science students. Here she is shown in with four female students in Paris.
Marie Sklodowska Arrives in Paris,
At 24 years old, Maria Sklodowska -- later Marie Curie -- arrived in Paris, where she became a student at the Sorbonne.

Marie Curie
Polish-French physicist and chemist (–)
This article is about the Polish-French physicist. For the musician, see Marie Currie. For other uses, see Marie Curie (disambiguation).
Maria Salomea Skłodowska-Curie[a] (Polish:[ˈmarjasalɔˈmɛaskwɔˈdɔfskakʲiˈri]ⓘ; née&#;Skłodowska; 7 November – 4 July ), known simply as Marie Curie (KURE-ee;[1]French:[maʁikyʁi]), was a Polish and naturalised-French physicist and chemist who conducted pioneering research on radioactivity. She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, the first person to win a Nobel Prize twice, and the only person to win a Nobel Prize in two scientific fields. Her husband, Pierre Curie, was a co-winner of her first Nobel Prize, making them the first married couple to win the Nobel Prize and launching the Curie family legacy of five Nobel Prizes. She was, in , the first woman to become a professor at the University of Paris.[2]

Work on radioactivity and discoveries
The Curies became research workers at the School of Chemistry and Physics in Paris and there they began their pioneering work into invisible rays given off by uranium – a new phenomenon which had recently been discovered bygd Professor Henri Becquerel. He had shown that the rays were able to pass through solid matter, fog, and photographic rulle and caused air to conduct electricity.
Marie also noticed that samples of a mineral called pitchblende, which contains uranium ore, were a great deal more radioactive than the pure element uranium. Further work convinced her the very large readings she was getting could not be caused bygd uranium alone – there was something else in the pitchblende. Since nobody had ever found it before, it could only be present in tiny quantities and seemed to be very radioactive. Marie was convinced she had found a new kemikalie element – but other scientists doubted her results.
