    http://www.aip.org/history/curie/recdis2_text.htm
    Recognition and Disappointment (1903-1905) The Nobel Prize and Its Aftermath MARIE WAS NOT REALLY NOMINATED for her first Nobel Prize. From the inception of the award in 1901, the Nobel Prizes have been made after a lengthy evaluation of the merits of nominees. In 1903 the French Academy of Sciences nominated Henri Becquerel and Pierre but not Marie Curie as candidates for the physics prize. If not for the intervention of a member of the nominating committee, Swedish mathematician Magnus Goesta Mittag-Leffler, Marie might have been denied recognition for her work. But Mittag-Leffler, an advocate of women scientists, wrote Pierre advising him of the situation. In his reply Pierre made clear that a Nobel Prize for research in radioactivity that failed to acknowledge Marie's pivotal role would be a travesty. Some strings were pulled, and a nomination of Marie Curie in 1902 was validated for 1903. In December 1903, Becquerel and both Curies were awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics. The Curies' citation was carefully worded to avoid specific mention of their discovery of polonium and radium. Chemists on the nominating committee had insisted that the Curies might in the future deserve a Nobel Prize for Chemistry for their discovery of those elements. And there remained some doubts about the elements, which had been isolated only in invisibly small amounts. Thus their physics prize mentioned only their collaborative work on Becquerel rays.

    Madame Curie
    Madame Curie shared with her husband, Pierre Curie, the honors for discovering two radioactive elements, radium and polonium. The discovery of these elements laid the foundation for future discoveries in nuclear physics and chemistry. Marie Sklodowska was born on November 7, 1867, in Warsaw, Poland. Her early years were strongly influenced by her parents, both educators. She later joined with Faculty of Sciences at the Sorbonne. This made Marie the first woman to teach at the university level in France.

Maria Sklodowska-Curie November 7 July 4 ) was a pioneer in the early field of radiation Born in Warsaw, Poland , she moved to Paris and studied chemistry and physics at the Sorbonne , where she became the first woman to teach there. At the Sorbonne she met another instructor, Pierre Curie and married him; together they studied radioactive materials: specifically the uranium ore pitchblende , which had the curious property of being more radioactive than the uranium extracted from it. The logical explanation of this was that the pitchblende contained traces of some unknown radioactive component that was far more radioactive than uranium. Over several years of unceasing labour they refined several tons of pitchblende, progressively concentrating the radioactive components, and eventually isolated two new chemical elements . The first they named polonium after Marie's native country, and the other was named

    French chemist and physicist who, with his wife Marie Curie discovered uranium, polonium, and radium in pitchblende in 1898. He also noticed that permanent magnets lose their magnetism when heated above a certain temperature (now called the Curie temperature ). He also discovered piezoelectricity which is the production of an electric potential across a crystal when pressure is applied.

    Curie, Marie (1867-1934)

    Polish maiden name: Maria Sklodowska. Polish-French chemist who gave the name "radioactivity" to the emission of radiation from atoms. Working with her husband, Pierre , she showed thorium, as well as uranium to be radioactive, and demonstrated that the radioactivity of a substance was proportional to the quantity of radioactive material present. Noticing that the radioactivity in some samples was too high to explain by any concentration of uranium, she set out to isolate the source of the radioactivity. In 1898, she discovered polonium in pitchblende. The radioactivity was not strong enough to explain the observations, however, so further investigations were carried out. Later that year, Marie discovered a trace amount of highly radioactive radium. During the course of four years, the Curies refined eight tons of raw ore to produce one gram of radium. Marie shared the 1903 Nobel Prize in physics with her husband Pierre and Henri Becquerel for the investigation of radioactivity. She also received the 1911 Nobel Prize in chemistry for her discovery of two new elements, which she had to accept alone because her husband had been killed in a traffic accident. This makes Madame Curie one of only four people to have received two Nobel Prizes:
