Marie Curie (1867-1934), Polish-born French physicist, 1926
Marie Curie (1867-1934), Polish-born French physicist, 1926. In 1898, Curie and her husband Pierre discovered two new elements, polonium and radium. Marie did most of the work of producing these elements, and to this day her notebooks are still too radioactive to use. In 1904, the Curies and Henri Becquerel were awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics. Curie also was awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1911. From An Outline of Christianity, The Story of Our Civilisation, volume 4: Christianity and Modern Thought, edited by RG Parsons and AS Peake, published by the Waverley Book Club (London, 1926)

EDITORS COMMENTS
Marie Curie (1867-1934), Polish-born French physicist, 1926. In this black and white portrait, we see the brilliant Marie Curie at the height of her scientific career. Known for her groundbreaking discoveries in radioactivity, she made history alongside her husband Pierre by uncovering two new elements: polonium and radium. This photograph captures the essence of Curie's unwavering dedication to science as she gazes directly into the camera with a determined expression. Her remarkable achievements not only revolutionized our understanding of chemistry and physics but also shattered gender barriers in the scientific community. The significance of Curie's work is further emphasized by an intriguing detail - her notebooks remain too radioactive to be handled even today. This serves as a testament to her relentless pursuit of knowledge and commitment to pushing boundaries. Recognizing their immense contributions, Marie Curie, Pierre Curie, and Henri Becquerel were jointly awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1904. Later on, Marie received another Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1911, becoming the first person ever to win two Nobel Prizes. Through this powerful image captured in 1926, we are reminded of Marie Curie's indomitable spirit that continues to inspire generations of scientists around the world. Her legacy as a trailblazing female scientist remains unparalleled.
