At school, I was taught that Marie Curie was French. Now, whilst she was married to a Frenchman, and may have acquired French citizenship later in life, by birth, she was Polish!

Were other people taught the half-truth that she was French?

@Paulos_the_fog I’m pretty sure I knew that she named Polonium for her mother country. If it said it in the Ladybird book on Madame Curie I would have known it.
