<p>Marie Salomea , born 7 November 1867 4 July 1934) was a Polish and naturalized-French physicist and chemist who
conducted pioneering research on radioactivity. She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, the first person
and the only woman to win the Nobel Prize twice, and the only person to win the Nobel Prize in two scientific
fields. Her husband, Pierre Curie, was a co-winner on her first Nobel Prize, making them the first ever married
couple to win the Nobel Prize and launching the Curie family legacy of five Nobel Prizes. She was, in 1906, the
first woman to become a professor at the University of Paris.</p>
<p>She was born in Warsaw, in what was then the Kingdom of Poland, part of the Russian Empire. She studied at
Warsaw's clandestine Flying University and began her practical scientific training in Warsaw. In 1891, aged 24,
she followed her elder sister Bronisława to study in Paris, where she earned her higher degrees and conducted
her subsequent scientific work. In 1895 she married the French physicist Pierre Curie, and she shared the 1903
Nobel Prize in Physics with him and with the physicist Henri Becquerel for their pioneering work developing the
theory of "radioactivity"—a term she coined. In 1906 Pierre Curie died in a Paris street accident. Marie won the
1911 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for her discovery of the elements polonium and radium, using techniques she
invented for isolating radioactive isotopes. </p>
<p> Under her direction, the world's first studies were conducted into the treatment of neoplasms by the use of
radioactive isotopes. In 1920 she founded the Curie Institute in Paris, and in 1932 the Curie Institute in
Warsaw; both remain major centres of medical research. During World War I she developed mobile radiography units
to provide X-ray services to field hospitals.</p>
<p>While a French citizen, Marie Skłodowska Curie, who used both surnames, never lost her sense of Polish identity.
She taught her daughters the Polish language and took them on visits to Poland. She named the first chemical
element she discovered polonium, after her native country.</p>
<p>Marie Curie died in 1934, aged 66, at the Sancellemoz sanatorium in Passy (Haute-Savoie), France, of aplastic
anemia from exposure to radiation in the course of her scientific research and in the course of her radiological
work at field hospitals during World War I. In addition to her Nobel Prizes, she has received numerous other
honours and tributes; in 1995 she became the first woman to be entombed on her own merits in Paris' Panthéon,
and Poland declared 2011 the Year of Marie Curie during the International Year of Chemistry. She is the subject
of numerous biographical works, where she is also known as Madame Curie.</p>
