My heroine: Marie Curie

Maria Salomea Skłodowska-Curie was born on November 7, 1867, in Warsaw, Poland. She was a good student in her secondary school, but she couldn’t attend the University of Warsaw because it was only for men. After years working and suffering, she could finish her studies at the Sorbonne University in Paris.

Then, she started to investigate and his husband Pierre Curie helped her. She made history in 1903 when she became the first woman to receive the Nobel Prize in physics and in 1911 when she won her second Nobel Prize in chemistry and became the first scientist to win two Nobel Prizes.

I admire Marie Curie because she demonstrated that any woman can achieve whatever she wants. She defended her women rights and she inspired all those women that didn’t believe in themselves. She broke the myths about women and their jobs and, I think that she gave the society another perspective about the equality between men and women.
