I admire...

Well friend, today I'm going to talk about a person that I admire, and is related with my career too (Chemistry and pharmaceutics) . She is Marie Curie, maybe you have heard about she and her invents.

Maria Sklodowska  was born on November 7, 1867, in Warsaw, Poland. Her parents were both teachers, and she was the youngest of five children.

She was the best student at school, then she dicided to continue her studies but Curie could not attend the men-only University of Warsaw. She instead continued her education in Warsaw's "floating university,". In 1891 Marie Curie went to Paris to finish her studies and start her brigthest work...

Curie was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize and the only woman to win the award in two different fields (physics and chemistry). The first time was in 1903, She won the prestigious honor along with her husband and Henri Becquerel, for their work on radioactivity, and the second time was in 1911 at the field of chemistry, the prize was given because her discovery of radium and polonio.

 I like Marie because she was one of the first women in a "man's field" and of course it was not easy for her. She had to prove that she had the same abilities of a man.
