Summary of passage

Marie Curie, born in Poland in 1867, was a pioneering scientist who made significant discoveries in the field of radioactivity. She was the first woman to become a professor at Sorbonne University in Paris and the first woman to win a Nobel Prize in Physics in 1903, alongside her husband Pierre Curie. Despite facing challenges as a woman in science, Marie never gave up and continued to work hard and believe in herself. Her research with radioactive materials led to the discovery of the elements polonium and radium, which had a profound impact on the field of science. Marie’s work also extended to helping cancer patients and soldiers during World War I with mobile X-ray units. Even after her passing in 1934, Marie Curie’s legacy lives on, inspiring many women to pursue careers in science. The “curie,” a unit of measurement for radioactivity, was named in her honor. Marie Curie will always be remembered as a trailblazer who changed the world with her dedication and determination.
