Together with herhusband pierre, she discovered radium, an element widely used for treating cancer, andstudied uranium and other radioactive substances.pierre and Marie's amicablecollaboration later helped to unlock the secrets of the atom.Marie was born in 1867 in Warsaw, Poland, where her father was a professor of physicsAt the early age, she displayed a brilliant mind and a blithe personality. Her greatexuberance for learning prompted her studies after high school. She became disgruntled,however, when she learned that the university in Warsaw was closed to women.Determined to receive a higher education, she defiantly left Poland and in 1891 enteredthe Sorbonne, a French university, where she earned her master's degree and doctoratein physics.Marie was fortunate to have studied at the Sorbonne with some of the greatest scientistsif her day, one of whom was Pierre Curie. Marie and Pierre were married in 1895 andspent many productive years working together in the physics laboratory. A short timeafter they discovered radium, Pierre was killed by a horse-drawn wagon in 1906. Mariewas stunned by this horrible misfortune and endured heartbreaking anguish. Despondentlyshe recalled their close relationship and the joy that they had shared in scientific research.The fact that she had two youny daughters to raise by herself greatly increased herdistress.Curie's feeling of desolation finally began to fade when she was asked to succeed herhusband as a physics professor at the Sorbonne. She was the first woman to be given aprofessorship at the world-famous university. In 1911 she received the Nobel Prize inchemistry for isolating radium. Although Marie Curie eventually suffered a fatal illnessfrom her long exposure to radium, She never became dissilusioned about her workregardless of the consequences, she had dedicated herself to science and to revealingthe mysteries of the physics world.Answer the questions based on your reading of the passage:a. Marie Curie and Pierre discovered - which is widely used for treating cancer..b. When she learned that the university in Warsaw was closed to women, MarieCurie becamec.
