EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enigmatic and trailblazing figure of Marie Curie (1867-1934), the groundbreaking Polish-born scientist who defied societal norms to become the first person to win two Nobel Prizes. Born in Poland, Curie received her secondary education and spent eight years as a governess before moving to Paris to pursue her dreams of studying physics at the Sorbonne. With the help of a scholarship, she returned to Poland to earn a second degree in mathematics. In 1895, she married fellow scientist Pierre Curie, and together they conducted groundbreaking research on radioactivity, which earned them the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1903. After Pierre's untimely death in 1906, Marie succeeded him in his position as Professor of Physics at the Sorbonne. In 1911, she made history once again by becoming the first person to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. In this image, Marie Curie exudes a sense of determination and intellectual curiosity as she gazes off into the distance, having left an indelible mark on the scientific world by isolating pure radium. This photograph is a testament to her unwavering commitment to scientific discovery and her place in history as a pioneering female scientist.
