Breaking Barriers - The Story of Marie Curie
Welcome back to Speaking of Her. This week, Jess dives into the remarkable life of one of history’s most groundbreaking women — Marie Curie — a scientist who shattered barriers, defied expectations, and changed the world forever.
Born in a time when women were denied access to most scientific institutions, Marie Curie’s relentless pursuit of knowledge would lead her to two Nobel Prizes — in two different sciences. But her story isn’t just about scientific discovery. It’s about sacrifice, perseverance, and the quiet strength of a woman who refused to let the world tell her “no.”
From the early days in war-torn Poland to the laboratories of Paris, this episode traces Marie’s path through love, loss, and legacy. We'll explore how she risked her health for her work, faced down sexism from her peers, and paved the way for generations of women in science.
This episode is a tribute to the woman who discovered new elements — and a new definition of what’s possible. Don’t miss it.
