I literally cried when I heard that the committee refused to give her the Nobel prize because she was a woman BUT there was a Swedish sympathisant of the committee who insisted to give her the Nobel prize and then it was possible that she wrote history to become the very first woman to receive the Nobel prize. His decision and bravery to fight for justice, ethics, morality, humanity and gender equality changed the course of history. He did because he had the power to change it. The only way to achieve equality in gender or race is if the discriminating party would stop discriminating. Sounds simple but it seems like an impossible fight since discrimination against women is the oldest discrimination in the history of mankind.

She also set up mobile x-ray units during WW1 and had to learn to drive and train other x-ray operators. The early x-ray tubes were not shielded. It is most likely it was exposure to this unshielded x-ray equipment that eventually killed her because when her body was exhumed in 1995 for re-burial in the Pantheon, it was not radioactive (from radium) as expected. Radium has a half-life of 1600 years, so if the radium had killed her, it would have been detected.

Please, call her by her full name - Marie Składowska-Curie. She was polish and Curie is only her husband name. She had to move from Poland to France, because at the time, women couldn’t studying at universities. She was very close to her motherland for her whole life.

To say her full name over and over is just kinda dumb. Coming from someone with a Norwegian name. It’s better to not let them try and say the name anyways.

It is amazing that after all that she suffered in Poland like losses she bore, rejections she received she still named an element after her country of origin. This shows she never held grudges and genuinely loved and respected her homeland. There are so many scientists who left their countries and even worked against them. Huge respect for this scientist.

[@bezpansky]

As a country, Poland didn't exists at the time, being partitioned by Prussia, Austria-Hungary and Russia. She was born in the Russian controlled part. Poles actively fought against the oppressors, one example being the Floating University, because at the time Polish was banned as a language in official institutions, including schools. When someone tries to erase your culture, language and history, you tend to appreciate it even more.
