in age of 10 lost mother
In 1903 with her husband was awarded
in age of 15 finished the secondary school
(with a golden medal)
with a Nobel prize in physics for:
"a great contribution by common work to understanding
to age of 24 worked as a private teacher
phenomena discovered by Henry Becquerel"
26 - got a Bachelor in Physics
(who got it for "discovering spontaneous radioactivity").
27 - got a Bachelor in Mathematics
In 1911 she was awarded with a Nobel prize in chemistry for:
28 - got married, for the money received from a cousin
they bought bicycles and rode for a wedding trip
Well known picture - in every physics
textbook is from her PhD thesis.
between 28 and 30 – got a research fellowship
The examination committee expressed the opinion that
the findings represented the greatest scientific
contribution ever made in a doctoral thesis. Of the
three members of the committee, two were to receive
the Nobel Prize a few years later.
30 - she got born a daughter and began PhD studies:
built a set-up to measure very weak electrical currents,
her father-in-law takes care about her daughter

"a contribution in the field of chemistry by discovering
chemical elements - polonium and radium,
isolating ot them and the studies of chemical
compounds of these extraordinary elements"

The Uranium ore, pitchblende, is a very complex mineral, made of combinations
of up to 30 different elements. After grinding, dissolving, filtering,
precipitating, collecting, re-dissolving, crystallising, re-crystallising 8
tonnes of pitchblende one can obtain 1 g of pure radium chloride.
Marie worked-out 1.5 tonne of pitchblende. The relative atomic mass of
radium Maria determined as 223.
Be careful: Her books are still radioactive to this very day.
In 1903 Marie and Pierre lost a child, born prematurely.
In 1906 Pierre was killed in a traffic accident. Marie refused an offer from the
French Government for a pension. She claimed that she was young and strong
enough to maintain herself and the children (nine-years-old Irène and 2-years-old
Eve).
Irène and her husband, Frédéric Joliot-Curie, discovered artificial radioactivity and
received the 1935 Nobel Prize for their discovery.
The younger daughter, married the American diplomat H. R. Labouisse. They have
both taken lively interest in social problems, and as Director of the United Nations'
Children's Fund he received on its behalf the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo in 1965.

Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that? We must have perseverance and
above all, confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for
something and that this thing must be attained.

Marie Curie is, of all celebrated
beings, the only one whom fame
has not corrupted.

1 curie = 37000000000 becquerel
Eighteen small trucks called little
Curies, fitted out with radiological
equipment, were produced during
the
1st
WW.
Marie and her 17-years-olddaughter Irene as a volunteers
regularly went to the front.
The Radium Standards Committee decided that the unit of
radioactivity, curie – chosen to honour Pierre - should be the
amount of radon in equilibrium with 10-8 grams of radium.
Marie did not accepted the proposal: she felt that the use of the
name curie for so infinitesimally small a quantity of anything was
altogether inappropriate. She insisted that the unit be based on
one gram of radium. It was then a "legendary" amount.
