In 1903, Pierre Curie and his wife won the Nobel Prize in Physics that year for the discovery of radium. In 1906, three years after winning the Nobel Prize, Pierre Curie was hit by a carriage on the road and died on the spot. Only 39-year-old Marie Curie was left, raising her two daughters alone.
Although after Pierre's death, Marie Curie was labeled a "Polish danang woman" by the French media because she was entangled with her husband. But the relationship between her and her husband, Pierre, is not fake.
After Pierre's death, Marie Curie wrote in her diary: "I can't see the future, and I won't laugh in the days to come." For her, Pierre is not only a husband in the legal sense, but also a partner who is highly compatible with her heart.
In 1894, Marie Curie entered the University of Paris to study physics, met Pierre, a physicist, and a year later, two like-minded people decided to hold a wedding and get married, Marie Curie's wedding dress was just a blue coat, and later she changed this dress into laboratory overalls and wore it for many years.
After marriage, the Curies had a very good relationship, and in addition to doing research together, they would also go for a bike walk in the countryside together. The research conditions at that time were very harsh, and the two were crammed into an abandoned wooden shed, cold in the winter, sweltering in the summer, and leaking rain on rainy days. Sometimes, all day long, two people, four hands, take turns stirring the boiling asphalt with large iron rods, and the masks can't block the pungent poisonous gas. Although the two were often so tired that they could not even say a word, their hearts were closely linked. Marie Curie mentioned in her autobiography that in this extremely simple wooden shed, she spent the best and happiest time of her life.
Such a difficult day, the Curies persisted for 4 years, and finally in 1902, they confirmed the existence of radium, which made Marie Curie the world's first female scientist to win the Nobel Prize, in fact, this prize did not come naturally.
At that time, the scientific research community was dominated by men, and Marie Curie, a Polish Jewish woman, would be pressured no matter how good she was. Therefore, the Nobel Prize was originally intended to be awarded only to Pierre and another aristocratic scientist, but Pierre was well aware of his wife's excellence and greatness, so he persuaded the committee to award the Nobel Prize to his wife as well.
Pierre's love for Marie Curie is unquestionable, and a man's ability to discover and appreciate his wife is true love. Although Marie Curie was involved with other men after Pierre's death, it did not mean that her feelings for Pierre were false. To put a great scientist in the hat of "dang woman" can only be said that the society's malice toward women is too great.
