Fighting against discrimination -

Maria Sklodowska Curie (1867-1934)

Story by Mimoza RistovaPhysics DepartmentUniversity in SkopjeRepublic of Macedonia

Once upon a time, the world of science and art was inaccessible for women as nowadays the Vatican Conclave and the Athos of

Greece remain closed for female human beings.

1897 – continuation of Becquerel's findings

Key to the success:Pierre and Jacque Curie’s upgraded electrometer

Experiments with U-salts_______________________________

Becquerels hypotesis confirmed

U-salts with a greater U-content show greater activity

The Nobel Prize in Physics 1903

The Nobel Prize in Physics 1903 was divided, one half awarded to Antoine Henri Becquerel "in recognition of the extraordinary services he has rendered by his discovery of spontaneous radioactivity",the other half jointly to Pierre Curie and Marie Curie, née Sklodowska "in recognition of the extraordinary services they have rendered by their joint researches on the radiation phenomena discovered by Professor Henri Becquerel".

Sulphides : Pb, Cu, As, Sb, Bi, X + (NH4)2S

As & Sb in Sol, while the deposit contains Pb, Cu, Bi, X+ NH3(aq)+ HCl(aq)

Cu in sol, in deposit remain hydroxides Pb, Bi, X + HCl(aq) + H2S(aq)

Deposit of sulfides : Pb, Bi, X (sublimation at700oC)

New depression____________________________

Was that a to big snow caused by the the gender chauvinism, anti-Semitism (?), nationalism ???

All of those discriminations at a same time!!??
