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.

Marie Curie is a role model for women. Her EQ and AQ were as high as her IQ. Albert Einstein's ex-wife was the top mathematics student in his class. He understood why women should not be underestimated. Marie Curie said she was taught that the way of progress was neither swift nor easy, and we can tell how humble and down-to-earth she was. Moreover, she and her husband did not exploit chances to get rich, they were selfless and lived for science and mankind. They deserve our deepest admiration and gratitude.
If a genius like Marie Curie (the first to win 2 Nobel prizes) was almost denied a Nobel prize because she was a *"woman"* I can imagine tens of women were *"actually"* denied the prize because of the same reason. and we don't know about them. Really breaks my heart.
What an absolute badass. When I have children, especially a daughter, I would 100% share the story of this absolute legend of a human.

Cindy , your voice is so soothing .... Thanks for such an informational video .... Lots of love from India .... ❤❤
She literally risked her life for saving and helping soilders!!. What a hero.
Madam Curie's brilliance as a scientist remains unparalleled, but it's her compassion and humanity that has truly moved me.
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.
"hundreds of people lined up outside the university hoping to attend her first lecture" gave me gooseflesh!

Maria Skłodowska-Curie*
I am related to Marie Curie. My last name is that similar to her maiden name but had changed over many year. My passion for chemistry seem’s so effortless now. I’ve know that I was polish & french for many years. I’m honored to be apart of her legacy
Marie Skłodowska Curie was a really great scientist, the fact that there was a high chance that her work would have never been recognised is astonishing.
Reminder: her name is Maria Skłodowska-Curie (Skwodovska), not Maria Curie. She was Polish not French, and she chose to keep her maiden name and wanted to be refered to with it. I'm Polish and it really bothers people here when people forget her maiden name, we are very proud of her! ❤
Person like Marie Curie shows the world how great it can be with strong minds.
What amazes me is that just because she was a women in a time and place where women couldn't pursue higher education or science, she found a way and laid the foundation for the most amazing advances in our technology that we are still learning a lot about to this day. For a lot of the people out there who give up because something is hard or seems unobtainable, remember Madam Curie did it in what probably was a much harder situation.
I am grateful to her for the work she had done... and the way her research has enhanced our understanding of the world.. May her memories continue to live with us all and inspire new minds...

Great film, however at this point it should be noted that Maria's first and last name is Maria Skłodowska - Curie. Maria even signed herself as Maria Skłodowska-Curie and emphasized her Polishness in many situations. With this in mind, it should be said for the future that this outstanding Nobel Prize winner, pride not so much for Poland as for the whole world, was called Maria Skłodowska-Curie and we should all respect that.

Exactly!
Video about woman who fought against sexism to achieve her dreams yet she's referred to by her husbands last name. Her last name was Skłodowska-Curie. For some It doesn't matter but let's not forget she was polish - she not only had to fought against discrimination but also had to learn another language to earn herself a place at the university.
If there were no orthodoxy no sexism in our history we'd have multiple newtons einteins and curies

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.
Even today Marie Curie fellowship is the most prestigious fellowship in Europe. She was a genius and humble lady. She won two Nobel from a temporary laboratory and worked mostly alone.
It is unfair when a male scientist like Bruce Benner gets exposed to gamma radiation and gets to be a superhero, but Marie Curie just gets killed. It is the fault of the patriarchy too?!?
The first time I found about marie is in elementary, where I read a biography comic about her. It inspire me, that she's a bookworm, a hardworking, a genius at that. She has been my inspiration that I became to love science, and I take engineering today. Now this just brings me back memories of that inspiration, just when I started to lose my purpose on studying, and doubting my future. I only knew half of the story from that comic. But should I say she and bronya is a sisters goals that Id like to have. I never knew bronya became a, headmaster(? I forgot.) Of that marie laboratory. 'Even the paper are still radioactive' Woah. Now I just start to realize what dangerous job marie done.
