Marie Curie, who overcame prejudice against women and foreigners
Discrimination and prejudice still remain

Marie Curie, who was at the forefront of scientific thought, was a woman and an immigrant who faced discrimination and prejudice.
The reason Marie Curie had no choice but to go from Poland to France to study was not because France was a developed country, but because Polish universities did not accept women.
In France, where I had difficulty crossing the border, I was classified as a special case and had to study because I was an immigrant.
When I think of the female students who came to study in our country from Southeast Asia, Marie Curie's situation comes to mind.


Marie Curie was undoubtedly a great scientist, having overcome crises in situations that could easily have been frustrating and won the Nobel Prize twice.
But there is a wall he cannot overcome.
It's the Academy of Sciences.
Marie was never made a member of the Academy of Sciences despite winning the Nobel Prize twice.
Because she was a 'woman'.
It's been almost 100 years since Marie Curie passed away, but many people still face discrimination for the same reason.
People who suffer from discrimination and prejudice still exist among us.


Human history has been one of expanding equality.
The history of equality is still ongoing.
