Marie Curie (Maria Skłodowska) est née à Varsovie, en Pologne, en 1867. À l'époque, les femmes ne pouvaient pas aller à l'université dans son pays : elle part donc étudier à Paris. Avec son mari Pierre, elle étudie la radioactivité (radioactivity) et découvre deux nouveaux éléments, le polonium (nommé d'après la Pologne) et le radium. Elle est la première femme à recevoir un prix Nobel (the first woman to win a Nobel Prize), et la seule personne à en avoir reçu deux dans deux sciences différentes. Pour écrire une biographie : was born, moved, studied, discovered, won, died.
