Marya Sklodowska.

There are so many scientists throughout history and almost all of them are men but among them is this outstanding physicist and chemist, Marya Sklodowska better known as Marie Curie.
Marie Curie was a polish nationalized french scientist. She was born in November 7, 1867 and passed away in July 4, 1934. She was married with Pierre Curie who was scientist too.
She studied in Sorbonne University, institution where later she became in teacher being the first woman in this position.

In 1898 along with her husband announced the discovery of two elements: Plonium and Radium thanks to this they won in 1903 the Nobel Prize in Physics and in 1911 she won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

I like her because she is one of them most recongnised woman in the science history. There must be others, of course, but I have heard most about her. I like the fact that she excelled in an area commonly dominated for men and that she was the first in some of her achievements, that makes me think she was not interested in what other people could say about her because she was not like the women of her time. Maybe she was the motivation for other women to become interested in science.
