Previous | Home | NextBy the "Loi du 26 juillet 1881" ("Law of July 1881 1882") "It sera fondé, par l'Etat, une Ecole normale d'internes destinée à recruter des Professeurs-femmes pour les Ecoles secondaires de jeuenes filles. . . ." ("The state founds a Normal School designed to recruit women Professors for a secondary school for young girls. . . ."). Marie Curie (and her husband) had just discovered radium in 1898 when she was appointed as a teacher here. She frequently came to give lectures and laboratory demonstrations during her tenure here 1900-1906. Upon her husband's death she left the beloved school to devote full time to her work in Paris.
