Marguerite Perey, first woman elected as correspondent at the Académie des Sciences
Marguerite PEREY, a researcher in chemistry, is the first woman to be elected Associate Professor at the Académie des Sciences for her discovery of a new chemical element, francium, in the Tableau de classificaiton périodique des éléments. Former collaborator of Marie CURIE, first woman to enter the Academy of Sciences, she evokes her work for 20 years in the Curie laboratory, she was even the special preparatory of Marie CURIE. She returns to this experience, Marie Curie having communicated to her the taste of research in the fields of radioactivity. She also answers a question on the reconciliation between research and family life for a woman, who herself has no children but many nephews and nieces.
