B
Marie Curie is probably the most famous woman scientist who has ever lived. Born in Poland in 1867, she is famous for her work on radioactivity (放射), and was twice a winner of the Nobel Prize. With her husband, Pierre Curie, and Henri Becquerel, she was awarded the 1903 Nobel Prize for Physics, and was then sole winner of the 1911 Nobel Prize for Chemistry.
From childhood, Marie was praised for her great memory, and at the age of 16 won a gold medal on completion of her secondary education. Because her father lost his savings through bad investment, she had to take work as a teacher. From her earnings she was able to help her sister Bronia study in Paris, on the understanding that Bronia would, in turn, later help her to get an education.
In 1891, this promise was achieved and Marie went to Paris and began to study at the
University of Paris. She often worked far into the night and lived on little more than bread and tea. Due to her hard work, she always came first in the examination. It was not until the spring of that year that she was introduced to Pierre Curie.
