The 2018 Nobel Prize in Chemistry will be announced today. In 1911, this honor went to Marie Curie, above, for her discovery of the elements radium and polonium. She was the first woman to receive an unshared Nobel Prize.
It was her second Nobel: In 1903 she shared the physics prize with her husband and another French scientist for their work on radioactivity.

She once summed up her biography in just 21 words: “I was born in Poland. I married Pierre Curie, and I have two daughters. I have done my work in France.”

She has been the topic of many books and movies. A recent BBC poll deemed her the most influential woman in history.
“Few persons contributed more to the general welfare of mankind and to the advancement of science than the modest, self-effacing woman whom the world knew as Mme. Curie,” The New York Times wrote after her death. Honors were heaped upon her, our obituary stated, but “she was indifferent to most.”
Claire Moses wrote today’s Back Story.
