About this listen
The source provides an extensive biographical and academic overview of Marie Curie (Maria Skłodowska), detailing her life from childhood in Poland to her groundbreaking scientific career in France. It thoroughly documents her Nobel Prizes in Physics and Chemistry, her work with husband Pierre Curie on radioactivity, polonium, and radium, and her eventual role as the first female professor at the Sorbonne. Furthermore, the text examines the personal and public challenges she faced, including struggles for education as a woman, the intense media scrutiny during the "Langevin-Affäre," and her vital contributions as a radiologist during World War I. Finally, it includes a list of her scientific publications and posthumous recognition, such as naming elements and institutes after her, and discusses how her public image was shaped after her death.
