MARIE CURIE

My full name is Marie Salomea Skłodowska Curie, I was born on


November 7, 1867 in Warsaw - Poland.
In 1891 I moved to Paris to continue my studies.
In 1894 I met the physicist Pierre Curie with whom I married and
had two children.
1898 I discovered two new chemical elements: polonium and
radium.
In 1903 I was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for the discovery
of the radioactive elements, I was the first woman to win a Nobel
Prize.
In 1911 won the second Nobel, Chemistry, for my research on
radium and its compounds. I was appointed director of the Radio
Institute of Paris in 1914 and founded the Curie Institute.
In 1934 I suffered from pernicious anemia caused by long
exposure to radiation and I was blind.
