Marie Curie, Polish-born French physicist, in her laboratory, 1912
Marie Curie, Polish-born French physicist, in her laboratory, 1912. Marie (1867-1934) and her husband Pierre Curie continued the work on radioactivity started by Henri Becquerel. In 1898, they discovered two new elements, polonium and radium. Marie did most of the work of producing these elements, and to this day her notebooks are still too radioactive to use. She went on to become the first woman to be awarded a doctorate in France, and continued her work after Pierres death in 1906. In 1903 the Curies shared the Nobel Prize for Physics with Becquerel. Marie won a second Nobel Prize, for chemistry, in 1911

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Marie Curie, the renowned Polish-born French physicist, in her laboratory in 1912. Alongside her husband Pierre Curie, she continued the groundbreaking work on radioactivity initiated by Henri Becquerel. Their tireless efforts led to the discovery of two new elements, polonium and radium, in 1898. Marie's dedication to producing these elements was so intense that even today her notebooks remain too radioactive for safe use. Despite this challenge, she became the first woman to earn a doctorate in France and persisted with her scientific pursuits after Pierre's untimely death in 1906. In recognition of their remarkable contributions to physics, Marie and Pierre were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics alongside Becquerel in 1903. Undeterred by societal norms that limited opportunities for women at the time, Marie went on to receive a second Nobel Prize for chemistry in 1911. This photograph not only showcases Marie Curie's pioneering spirit but also highlights her significant role as a female scientist who defied gender barriers during an era when women faced immense challenges pursuing careers in science. Her legacy continues to inspire generations of scientists worldwide.
