Marie Curie
Born in Warsaw, Poland, on November 7, 1867, Marie Curie was forbidden to attend the male-only University of Warsaw, so she enrolled at the Sorbonne in Paris to study physics and mathematics. There she met a professor named Pierre Curie, and the two soon married, forming one of the most famous scientific partnerships in history. Together they discovered two elements and won a Nobel Prize in 1903 for their pioneering work developing the theory of "radioactivity". Marie went on to win the Nobel award for chemistry in 1911 for her discovery of the elements polonium and radium. She died in Savoy, France, on July 4, 1934, a victim of many years of exposure to toxic radiation.
