Marie Curie, Polish-born French physicist, 1910
Marie Curie, Polish-born French physicist, 1910. Marie Curie (1867-1934) and her husband Pierre continued the work on radioactivity started by Henri Becquerel. In 1898, they discovered two new elements, polonium and radium. Marie did most of the work of producing these elements, and to this day her notebooks are still too radioactive to use. She went on to become the first woman to be awarded a doctorate in France, and continued her work after Pierres death in 1906. In 1903 the Curies shared the Nobel Prize for Physics with Becquerel. Marie won a second Nobel Prize, for chemistry, in 1911

EDITORS COMMENTS
Marie Curie, Polish-born French physicist, 1910. Marie Curie (1867-1934) and her husband Pierre continued the work on radioactivity started by Henri Becquerel. In 1898, they discovered two new elements, polonium and radium. Marie did most of the work of producing these elements, and to this day her notebooks are still too radioactive to use. She went on to become the first woman to be awarded a doctorate in France and continued her groundbreaking research even after Pierre's untimely death in 1906. In recognition of their remarkable contributions, the Curies shared the Nobel Prize for Physics with Becquerel in 1903. Marie's brilliance extended beyond physics as she became the first person - male or female - to win a second Nobel Prize, this time for chemistry in 1911. Her relentless pursuit of knowledge has forever solidified her place among history's greatest scientists. This black and white portrait captures Marie Curie's determination and intellect that propelled her into scientific stardom during a time when women were often overlooked in academia. The photograph serves as a powerful reminder of Curie's immense impact on our understanding of radioactivity and her trailblazing role as an influential female scientist. Displayed proudly within this print is not just an image but also a testament to Marie Sklodowska Curie’s unwavering dedication towards pushing boundaries within science.
