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 was born in Poland, so we learned she was Polish (didn’t actyally know about the French part until later). But…. at the time she was not allowed to study in Poland, so all the research leading to the Nobel prices was done in France.
