Who was Marie Curie?

Imagine living in a place where girls were strictly banned from going to university! That didn't stop Maria Sklodowska. She attended a secret, hidden night school called the "Flying University" just to learn! Later known to the world as Marie Curie, she moved to Paris with almost no money and studied so hard she literally fainted from hunger. But she never gave up! Marie and her husband Pierre discovered something completely mind-blowing: a brand new element that glowed in the dark like magical fairy lights! She invented the word "radioactivity" and spent three whole years stirring an elephant-sized pile of boiling dirt just to find it. Her hard work made her the first woman ever to win a Nobel Prize—and the ONLY person in history to win two of them in two different sciences! But Marie wasn't just a lab scientist; she was a real-life superhero. During World War 1, she built mobile X-ray vans called "little Curies" and drove them straight to the front lines to help save over a million soldiers! Tune in to discover the unstoppable story of Marie Curie!
