Title couldn’t say it all.

“You cannot hope to build a better world without improving the individuals.

To that end, each of us must work for his own improvement and, at the same time, share a general responsibility for all humanity, our particular duty being to aid those to whom we think we can be most useful.”

~ Maria Salomea Skłodowska aka Marie Curie ~ Born 7 November 1867 Warsaw, Congress Poland, Russian Empire ~ Died 4 July 1934 Passy, Haute-Savoie, France ~ Russian physicist and chemist who conducted pioneering research on radioactivity. ~ She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, the first person to win a Nobel Prize twice, and the only person to win a Nobel Prize in two scientific fields. ~ Her husband, Pierre Curie, was a co-winner of her first Nobel Prize, making them the first-ever married couple to win the Nobel Prize and launching the Curie family legacy of five Nobel Prizes. ~ She was, in 1906, the first woman to become a professor at the University of Paris.
