Marie Curie, an extraordinary life
When Pierre Curie died accidentally, his widow Marie Curie had to redouble her efforts to assert and maintain her place in the all-male scientific community.
Now a single woman, and a foreigner at that, she was the object of much criticism and had to confront the obstacles associated with her gender. All her life, the Radium star has had to fight to break through the barriers.
How did this Polish woman from an educated but modest background, banned from university by the Russian Empire, manage to revolutionize the scientific and medical field?
