[摘要]:Marie Sklodowska-Curie, the first woman to win a Nobel Prize and the only person to be awarded the Nobel Prize twice in different scientific disciplines, is an inspiring figure. She discovered two new elements, polonium and radium, and was appointed as the first female professor at the University of Paris, when in most countries women did not yet have the right to vote. She serves as a role model for scholarly and humanitarian endeavors through what she attained in science, and through the hardships she had to overcome and the gender discrimination barriers faced by women scientists of that period, which she had to break. This article is a tribute to Marie Sklodowska-Curie's achievements. |
