Marie Curie, barred from the University of Warsaw, pursues her passion for science at the Sorbonne.

From the publisher
FOR USE IN SCHOOLS AND LIBRARIES ONLY. Born in Warsaw, Poland, on November 7, 1867, Marie Curie was forbidden to attend the male-only University of Warsaw, so she enrolled at the Sorbonne in Paris to study physics and mathematics. There she met a professor named Pierre Curie, and the two soon married, forming one of the most famous scientific partnerships in history. Together they discovered two elements and won a Nobel Prize in 1903.
