However, the father was always going from job to job to help provide for their family. This was causing them to not have a lot of money and they were always moving into smaller apartments to try to make ends meet. Marie’s mother passed away when she was 11.

However when she was 11, along with her mother her sister passed away. These two deaths were kinda a step where Marie had to start helping out with the family. Her and her sister, Bronya, would help fund each other’s educations.

Together, they had two daughters. Irene Jolliet-Curie was born in 1897 and Eve Curie was born in 1904.

She also was very quiet, preserved and unassuming. However, she was looked up to all over the world during her time as a scientist.

This field is also used for many things, including researching the laws of nature, targeting cancer treatments, and heat.


If I had to describe the field of radioactivity to a younger audience, I would describe radioactivity as small particles that grow energy in objects.


The photo above shows the particles that work together to create radioactivity.

Marie had also experienced a lot of poorness in her life, with her parents and even with her husband when studying in university and not being taken seriously in the science community because of her gender.

This discovery made a huge effect on the world by helping create more medications and saving people’s lives.

But since it was radioactive, they knew it wasn't the same as the bismuth faction. So, that is when they discovered the now element and its name comes from Marie's birth.
