Marie, the Mother<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Marie Curie<\/b> had two daughters with <\/span>Pierre Curie<\/span><\/i>, <\/span>Ir\u00e8ne <\/span><\/i>and <\/span>\u00c8ve<\/span><\/i>. <\/span>Marie <\/span><\/i>was very attached to her girls, despite the fact that her work took up most of her time. <\/span>Pierre <\/span><\/i>passed away when little <\/span>\u00c8ve <\/span><\/i>was just 2 years old. By that time, the paternal family begins to play a more important role in raising the little ones. They looked after them when <\/span>Marie <\/span><\/i>had to spend long hours, in her lab doing research.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Marie <\/span><\/i>was a critic of the education that was imparted at that time in Parisian schools. So she decided that the girls’ education should be given at home with tutors. Their mother taught them <\/span>Physics<\/b>. <\/span>Marie’s<\/span><\/i> friends tutored in other areas, during the girls’ school years.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ir\u00e8ne <\/span><\/i>showed interest in science. She was passionate about the laboratory, as well as her parents. Ir\u00e8ne later, together with her husband, the scientist <\/span>Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Joliot<\/span><\/i>, would win the <\/span>Nobel Prize<\/b> in <\/span>Chemistry <\/b>in 1935. Their work on artificial <\/span>radioactivity <\/b>would win them the award. <\/span>Marie <\/span><\/i>and <\/span>Ir\u00e8ne <\/span><\/i>worked together in the laboratory that would later become the <\/span>Curie Institute<\/b>. Their relationship was very solid.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On the other hand, <\/span>\u00c8ve <\/span><\/i>leaned towards letters, later she would be a <\/span>writer <\/b>and <\/span>journalist<\/b>. In fact, all that is known about<\/span> Marie Curie<\/b> was due to the tireless work of her daughter <\/span>\u00c8ve<\/span><\/i>. Making known the fruitful life of her mother, through writings and the publication of a <\/span>biography <\/b>of the scientist. <\/span>\u00c8ve <\/span><\/i>was a special adviser to <\/span>NATO<\/b>, traveled to countries in conflict, where she served as a war correspondent. At the end of <\/span>Marie’s <\/span><\/i>days, <\/span>\u00c8ve <\/span><\/i>was always by her side and began to write her mother’s <\/span>biography<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Marie, her training.<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Maria Sk\u0142odowska-Curie<\/b> was born in <\/span>Poland <\/b>in 1867. Daughter of a physics and mathematics teacher, her mother was a teacher, pianist, and singer. She grew up in an educated environment, along with his 4 other siblings. At the time of beginning university studies, <\/span>Poland <\/b>was the capital of the <\/span>Russian <\/b>partition and, prohibited the study of <\/span>women<\/b>. So, <\/span>Marie <\/span><\/i>and her sister decided to enroll in the <\/span>“Floating University”.<\/b><\/p>\n

This <\/span>university <\/b>taught young people, who wanted to educate themselves. The name of the university comes from the fact that it was <\/span>clandestine<\/b>, and they always changed places so as not to be discovered. She was determined to be a <\/span>scientist<\/b>. She decides to study at the <\/span>Sorbonne <\/b>in <\/span>France<\/b>. But she must first work as a tutor, in order to pay for her studies. She did this work for a few years.<\/span><\/p>\n

Once she got her bachelor’s degree in <\/span>physics, <\/b>she started to work in a lab. And she continues studying and earns a second degree, this time in <\/span>Mathematics<\/b>. Later she would meet <\/span>Pierre Curie<\/span><\/i>, who would be her husband, and her lab partner. <\/span>Pierre <\/span><\/i>saw that <\/span>Marie’s <\/span><\/i>work was paying off, and decides to focus on them, share knowledge, and work together.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Marie <\/span><\/i>worked tirelessly in the laboratory. This work would later make her the winner of two <\/span>Nobels Prizes <\/b>in two different <\/span>disciplines<\/b>. She is so far the only person who has accomplished this feat. <\/span>Marie Curie<\/span><\/i> was the first <\/span>woman <\/b>to be a professor at the prestigious <\/span>Sorbonne<\/b>. She taught <\/span>physics<\/b>, a chair that her husband had left empty once he tragically passed away.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Curie<\/span><\/i> had a fruitful <\/span>life<\/b>. Her daughters also brought many fruits to the world. <\/span>Marie <\/span><\/i>did not have a simple, trouble-free life. She had to overcome inconveniences and adversities. She suffered from xenophobia and criticism of her private life. However, today the world gives her the place she deserves, <\/span>the woman who changed modern science<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n
