Forgotten Hero Madam Marie Curie

Forgotten Hero Madam Marie Curie: She was born Maria Sklodowska on November 7, 1867, in Warsaw, Poland, better known as Madame Marie Curie.
She grew up in a family that valued education. Her father, who was a physics teacher, taught all of his children how to
use scientific equipment. She graduated from school early, around the age of 15. Women could not attend universities in Poland at that time.
So she attended Flying School, which was an underground organization that secretly helped people. Eventually, Maria and her sister Bronya decided to join Sorbone University, a prestigious university in Paris. The sisters didn’t have enough money to attend college at the same time, so they found a way out, they decided to take turns, Bronya enrolled first, Marie worked as a tutor and governess to fund Bronya’s studies, and 6 years later, in 1891, Marie joined the university.
In 1893, she earned a degree in physics. The following year, she earned another degree in mathematics. Later, later she met Pierre Curie, a young physicist who had a laboratory to share that enhanced Marie’s desire to conduct experiments. Later,  she married Pierre Curiein in 1895. With his encouragement, Marie pursued a doctoral degree. For her research work, Marie continued to work on French physicist Henri Becquerel. In 1896, Becquerel found that rocks containing
The element uranium gives off light. Marie wanted to find out what causes these lights. She figured out that changes in atoms cause these lights.
this phenomenon of radioactivity. Pierre and Marie went on and discovered polonium and radium, and at the end of that year, she became the first woman to
win a Nobel Prize. Unfortunately, Pierre died in an accident in 1906. When the university offered her a job, she accepted and went on to become the university’s first president.
female professor, 1911 She got another Nobel Prize in chemistry. Curie worked on the X-ray machine discovered by German scientist Wilhelm Roentgen in 1895. She used her newly discovered element, radium, to be the gamma-ray source on x-ray machines. This allowed for more accurate and stronger x-rays. She figured out ways to use radioactivity for the betterment of humankind.
During World War I, she expanded her use of X-ray machines and trained nurses to use them. Marie’s health went downhill after a decade of exposure to radioactive elements.
She wasn’t aware that radioactivity, and when she died in 1934 at the age of 66, Marie Curiese’s discoveries led to many of today’s technological advancements.
Radioactivity is used to treat cancer, make electricity, and produce heat. Her discoveries changed the way we lived.
