About three years before the beginning of the 20th century, Madame Curie, the famous French (born Polish) scientist who isolated radium and proved radioactivity, and first woman professor of science in Europe, was pregnant with her first of two children (both daughters). This woman who loved riding bicycles with her husband, Pierre, was not one to be slowed by minor complications. Into her eighth month of pregnancy, she and Pierre rode their bikes on multi-day trips into towns and cities far from their home in Paris. The daughter was born healthy and later went on to become a Nobel Prize winner herself.
