Nobel Prize for Change

This idealized portrait of Polish-French chemist Marie Curie is a tribute to her perseverance. Despite the absence of educational opportunities for women under the Russian occupation in Poland, she took clandestine classes. She worked as a governess and fled to Paris to study. There she discovered radioactivity and won the Nobel Prize in Physics with her husband in 1903 and the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1911.

She is the first woman to win a Nobel Prize and one of two people to receive two Nobel Prizes in various disciplines.

‍

For me, she deserves the Nobel Prize for resistance, perseverance, change and education. Because her two daughters also contribute to her legacy. Irène Curie shared the Nobel Prize in Chemistry with her husband and Ève Curie, her husband, as director of UNICEF, received the Nobel Prize on behalf of this organization.
receiving for Peace.
