Marie Curie was born on November 7, 1867, in Poland, originally named Marie Sk?odowska. As a young girl, although she came from a poor family, she was very studious. At the age of 16, she graduated from Warsaw Women's High School with excellent grades and received a gold medal. However, at that time, Poland had been divided among Russia, Prussia, and Austria, and Polish women had no right to attend university. Due to poverty and the inability to study abroad, she had to work as a private tutor in the countryside for five years. During this time, she saved money by living frugally, preparing to study abroad.
Marie Curie's brilliant life demonstrated great personality, showcased immortal life value, and established a lofty life monument. Especially as a woman, she revealed the highest meaning of marriage and the value of life. Particularly in her coordination and achievements in family, children, career, and personal and social aspects, she fully proved that women can be just as capable as men to forge their own paths and create great achievements. She was a scientific giant and also a devoted wife and mother.
