Who Was Marie Curie? +
Marie Curie was told, repeatedly, that science was not for women — and won two Nobel Prizes anyway, in two different scientific fields, the only person in history to do so. Born in Warsaw under Russian occupation, she moved to Paris, worked in a converted shed, and discovered two elements: polonium, named for her occupied homeland, and radium. She drove mobile X-ray units to the front in World War I and trained the nurses who operated them. She died from the radiation that had consumed her career. She knew the risks. She worked anyway.
