    I literally cried when I heard that the committee refused to give her the Nobel prize because she was a woman BUT there was a Swedish sympathisant of the committee who insisted to give her the Nobel prize and then it was possible that she wrote history to become the very first woman to receive the Nobel prize.
    His decision and bravery to fight for justice, ethics, morality, humanity and gender equality changed the course of history.
    He did because he had the power to change it.
    The only way to achieve equality in gender or race is if the discriminating party would stop discriminating.
    Sounds simple but it seems like an impossible fight since discrimination against women is the oldest discrimination in the history of mankind.

      It's not sexism is the oldest,it's race and skin colour, religion and many more issues that prevent mankind from reaching potential of expressing their purpose of life.This discrimination is a Global phenomenon.The way I see it,each individual must focus on their own progress not try to teach or change the world.By seeing the struggles of oneself,he/she may grow out of the disease of killing someone's potential.The West among all were the cunning culprits for the past 1000 years of discrimination and millions of white women benefitted and guilty of it too.

    Marie Curie is a role model for women. Her EQ and AQ were as high as her IQ. Albert Einstein's ex-wife was the top mathematics student in his class. He understood why women should not be underestimated. Marie Curie said she was taught that the way of progress was neither swift nor easy, and we can tell how humble and down-to-earth she was. Moreover, she and her husband did not exploit chances to get rich, they were selfless and lived for science and mankind. They deserve our deepest admiration and gratitude.

    She also set up mobile x-ray units during WW1 and had to learn to drive and train other x-ray operators. The early x-ray tubes were not shielded. It is most likely it was exposure to this unshielded x-ray equipment that eventually killed her because when her body was exhumed in 1995 for re-burial in the Pantheon, it was not radioactive (from radium) as expected. Radium has a half-life of 1600 years, so if the radium had killed her, it would have been detected.

    I am a huge fan of her, despite sharing the same birthday. Her passion to move forward inspires me all the time.

    Great video. I've always admired her ever since I read about her when I was in grade school.

    Even today Marie Curie fellowship is the most prestigious fellowship in Europe. She was a genius and humble lady. She won two Nobel from a temporary laboratory and worked mostly alone.

    I knew Marie Curie from one of my favourite kdrama . .. But the fact that I love the most is she still going to university at 24 . How amazing !

    The video is really well done! It is engaging to the end. I love how much you research this and sharing it. Her story is really badass and I'm glad there were people supporting her despite sexism in that time. Love it!
