What was Mary's experience?

Mary was born in Warsaw, Poland on 1867. After graduating from high school, she was plagued by mental illness for a year. Because she is a woman, she can't continue her studies in any Russian or Polish university, so she has been a tutor for several years. Mary and her sister both want to study in France, and her sister has saved a sum of money for this, but it is only enough for her to study in France for one year. So, Mary is going to let her sister go to France first to earn money for her study, and then help her to study abroad after her sister graduates. Therefore, Mary worked as a governess for eight years. However, the hardships of these eight years did not erase her will to study, and finally realized her dream of studying in France with the support of her sister. She came to the Sorbonne University in Paris, which is now the University of Paris. After four years of hard work, she obtained two master's degrees in mathematics and physics, and became the first female lecturer there.

Maria met pierre curie, another lecturer at the Paris School, and her later husband. The two of them often study radioactive materials together, mainly pitchblende, because the total radioactivity of this ore is stronger than that of the uranium it contains. 1898, the curies put forward a logical inference to this phenomenon: pitchblende must contain some unknown radioactive substance, which is far more radioactive than uranium. 12 On February 26th, Madame Curie announced their inference to the whole world, and in the following years, she continuously refined the radioactive materials in pitchblende. After unremitting efforts, they finally succeeded in separating radium chloride. Two new chemical elements were discovered: polonium and radium. Because of their great discovery and research on radioactivity, they and Henry Bekkerel 1903 won the Nobel Prize in physics, and Mary became the first woman to win the Nobel Prize in history. 19 1 1 year. Mary won the Nobel Prize in chemistry again for successfully extracting radium. Surprisingly, after winning the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, Marie Curie did not apply for a patent for the method of extracting pure radium, but made it public, which promoted the development of radiochemistry at that time.

Madame Curie is also one of only two Nobel Prize winners in different fields in history. In World War I, he suggested using the principles of radiology to treat the wounded, thus promoting the development and application of radiology in the field of medical research. 192 1 year, she went to the United States to raise money for radiology research. Madame Curie died in France on 1934 due to excessive exposure to radioactive substances. Later, her eldest daughter, Elon Giorio Curie, won the Nobel Prize in chemistry with 1935. Eve Curie, the youngest daughter, wrote a book "Biography of Madame Curie" after her mother died. During the inflation in the 1990s, Madame Curie's head once appeared on stamps and currency in France and Poland. The chemical element curium (Cm, 96) was named in memory of the Curie couple.
