    Description

    Born Maria Skłodowska in Warsaw, Poland, Marie Curie began her scientific journey under difficult conditions. As higher education was forbidden for women in Russian-controlled Poland, she joined the Flying University, a clandestine institution.

    > 'I have never been happier than during those moments of clandestine study.'

    These years forged her determination and passion for science, laying the foundations for her future successes in Paris.
