On the 7th November 1867 a teacher in physics and maths became the father of a little girl called Marya Sklodowska and nobody could know. That this girl would have been one of the most famous female scientists in the 90's and 20's century.
At the age of 16 she finished her exam in a lycee` as the best and won a gold medal. A low in her life was when her family lost nearly the whole savings because of bad investments.
As a consequence Marya has to work as a teacher to finance her sister's education. At the same time she was giving lecture at the polish "Free University" to women workers.
After some time she accompanied her sisters, who financed her now, to France where she started at the Sorbonne. She passed her exam in physics and in maths where she was the 2. best and as
a result she became an assistant of the professor in physics Henri Bequerel.
When Marie was 33 years old she teaches physic at the E`cole Normale Superieure for girls and founded the method of experimental demonstration. Three years later the Curies together with Henri Bequerel won the Nobel prize for physics because of their achievement concerning Radioactivity.
On the 4th of July 1934 Marie died in Sancellemonz because of leukaemia which is a consequence of her contact to radioactive elements over long time.
