Marie Curie was born in Poland in 1867, she was the youngest of five children. She had a brother and three older sisters. Her father was a professor. When Marie graduated from high school she won a gold medal because she had been such a good student.
She and her sister did private tutoring to earn money. Her sister invited her to come to Paris to live and begin her studies. At the Sorbonne, the university, she chose to study mathematics and physics. She had a master's degree in physics. Then she was awarded a scholarship and was able to study further to get a master's degree in mathematics. She would also later receive a doctorate in physics.
She met Pierre Curie and they married in 1895. Pierre and Marie began experimenting and discovered two new radioactive elements. She named one of them polonium and the other they named radium. They worked four years preparing a very small quantity of radium in order to prove there really was such an element. In 1903 Pierre and Marie along with Henri Becquerel received the Nobel Prize in physics for their discovery of radioactivity. In 1911 she was again awarded the Nobel Prize for discovery of the two new elements polonium and and radium.
The Curies had two daughters, Irene and Eve. Madame Curie made two trips to America to receive a gram of radium each time. In 1923 the French government gave her a pension of 40,000 francs a year in recognition of her lifetime of work in France. During World War I, Marie worked to develop x-rays.
She became ill and died from all her years of exposure to radium. Today doctors identify the disease as leukemia. After Marie's death her daughter Irene received the Nobel Prize for their work in atomic research. Many people have benefited from the discoveries made by Pierre and Marie Curie. The radiation which burned their skin as they worked with it, eventually came to be used to kill cancer cells in patients suffering from the disease.
