Marie Curie was born in Warsaw, Poland, in 1867. Despite facing financial hardship and gender discrimination, she moved to Paris to study physics and mathematics. In 1903, she became the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, for her research on radioactivity. She later won a second Nobel Prize in 1911, becoming the only person ever to win Nobel Prizes in two different sciences. Her work laid the foundation for modern nuclear physics and cancer treatment.
