Marie Curie was born in Poland on Nov. 7, 1867, and always kept such a love for her home country. Not only did she teach her two daughters Polish and took them to visit the country often, but she also named polonium, one of the elements she and Pierre discovered, after Poland, per Britannica. As a young woman, she became a governess after her mother died and her father couldn’t support her anymore, teaching herself through reading on her own, per the Marie Curie charity. She then went to Paris to live with her sister in 1891 and started college at Sorbonne University. She met Pierre Curie there and they married in 1895.
Curie died on July 4, 1934, due to aplastic anemia, which was caused by her work with radiation. Her hard work and dedication to her work are not only admirable but also really play into how meaningful her quote about advancement is; she, more than anyone else, knew the price of progress.

This quote appears in the education book, Java Connector Architecture: Building Custom Connectors and Adapters (2002) by Atul Apte. The official Nobel Prize website also attributes this quote to Curie.
All of that, in addition to her countless other achievements and accomplishments, Curie was responsible for the advancement of modern science. And as Britannica also reported, Curie’s research—along with Irène and Irène’s later-husband, Frédéric Joliot’s, contributions—made way for Sir James Chadwick to discover the neutron later on. This then also led to the discovery of artificial radioactivity in 1934 by Irene and Frédéric Joliot-Curie.
Marie Curie’s research created a lot of progress and advanced modern science in ways that we still benefit from today. But progress isn’t easy; it involves hard work, ambition and determination. And it’s not fast either; any scientific advancements and discoveries Curie made took years, and some even continued after her death, either by her daughter or other scientists.
