Check out my latest published article, on the occassion of Women's History Month, honoring an historical giant who was not so much a sign of her time, but a sign of times to come for women...
- She was the first woman in France to receive a university doctorate
- She was the first female professor at the University of Paris
- She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, and the first person to win two!
- She was the first -- and is currently the only -- woman to be buried at the Panthéon not because of who she married but because of her contributions to science and humanity.
Her name was Marie Curie.
Read all about her in Bonjour Paris, a great on-line resource covering practically everything Parisien!
