When she was only twel ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ve years old, Mary became the first person to find the almost complete skeletons(骨架) of several animals that no longer existed on earth. She didn't become famous for her discoveries at that time because she often sold her fossils to get money to support her family.
In 1891, a youn ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )g Polish woman named Marie Sklodowska traveled to Paris to study physics. She did so because she could not get a college education in Poland. She began working in the laboratory of a man named Pierre Curie. Marie and Pierre Curie got married and made many discoveries together.
