When Marie Sklodowska moved from Warsaw, Poland, to Paris, she committed her life to experimental science, and she fell in love with physicist Pierre Curie. The young couple married and began to work obsessively to uncover the secrets of atomic structure. Marie became the first woman awarded the Novel Prize in Physics. She won a second Nobel prize in chemistry after Pierre's premature death and became one of the world's most famous scientists.
