There she met Pierre and they were married in the summer of 1895; Marya adopted his surname and changed her first name to the French equivalent – Marie.   In 1987 Marie began her doctorate in physics, and by 1903 she had finished it.  Marie was finding it hard to survive as the French were not taking a like to a ‘Polish woman’ equalling their top scientists.
