Madame Curie
I like Madame Curie best. Madame Curie was a world famous woman scientist. She was born in Poland in 1867 and died in 1934.
When she was a child, she loved to study and hoped to become a scientist. She finished middle school at the age of 16. At the age of 24, she left for Paris and entered Paris University. She lived a simple life and studied very hard.
Madame Curie devoted all her life to the study of science. She won the Nobel Prize for physics in 1903 and for chemistry in 1911.
It is not easy for a woman to succeed in her work. It is even more difficult for a woman to win the Nobel Prize twice in life. So Madame Curie will always be remembered as a great woman. As a girl, too. I learn a lot from her.
