The scientific discoveries of Maria Skłodowska-Curie (1867–1936) paved the way for major technological advances in war medicine, including the use of radon gas bulbs to disinfect war wounds starting in 1916. She was the first woman to receive a Nobel Prize and the only one to have received two. She also contributed to the development of mobile X-ray services at the start of the First World War.
Irène Curie (1897–1956), winner of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry (1935), was one of the first nurses to be trained in radiology during the First World War. She was only 17 when she joined her mother, Maria Skłodowska-Curie, at work in the mobile radiology laboratories of the French Red Cross. The vehicles made it possible to conduct pre-operative X-rays near the front lines, vastly improving medical care for wounded soldiers.
Elisa Rusca is co-curator of the exhibition WHO CARES? GENDER AND HUMANITARIAN ACTION (from 31 May to 9 October 2022).
