Marie Curie was born November 7, 1867 in Poland, she was the youngest of the five other children in her family. Her father was a math and physics teacher, and her mother was a principal. Marie’s parents highest priority was their children's education, all of their children went to school. Her father made up games to help his children learn geography. He read poems to them and taught them the five languages he knew. Then her mother became ill with a disease called tuberculosis. On to of that her…

of their achievements, but there is one other person that I believe should be included. Marie Curie was a scientist that contributed several important discoveries to the world of science, and she was the first women to win a Nobel Prize. Moreover, Marie’s achievements have shown that anything is possible if you put your mind to it, which is why I believe that she should be nominated to appear on a stamp. Marie Curie demonstrated various actions and qualities in her life that are admirable to…

Radioactivity has had a great impact on the medical field especially with x-rays. Marie Curie was one of the main researchers on the radioactivity used for these. Not only did she study and research the material, but she also saved millions of people during World War 1. (Funk & Wagnalls) Marie Curie’s passion for science and physics was and is, as illuminating as the glow from the element radium she is known for discovering. She has left a magnificent imprint on the world of science and…
