    In Poland in 1891, Marie Curie was engaged to a budding mathematician, Kazimierz Zorawski. But when his mother insisted she was too poor and not good enough, he broke off the engagement. A heartbroken Marie left Poland for Paris, where she would attend the Sorbonne to study chemistry and physics. But what if she had made a different choice?
