Marie Curie loved learning but was unable to attend university in her native Poland because she was a woman. She moved to Paris to continue her studies and became a pioneering scientist, discovering radium and polonium. Her remarkable research earned her two Nobel Prizes and helped transform the treatment of cancer.
