 | | She was born a Pole in Warsaw, and spent her early years there, but in 1891 at age 24, moved to France to study science in Paris. |
 | | Born in Warsaw, Poland, then under control by the Russian Empire, her early years were sad ones, marked by the death of her sister from typhus and, four years later, her mother. |
 | | After her husband's death, she supposedly had an affair with physicist Paul Langevin, a married man who had left his wife, which resulted in a press scandal, exacerbated by her academic opponents in order to damage her credibility. |
