Scarce WWI-dated Red Cross radiology training certificate signed by physicist Marie Curie, the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, the only woman to win in two fields, and the only person to win in multiple sciences. Certificate was presented to an American woman, Dr. Esther E. Parker, by Marie Curie on 18 December 1917. Curie became director of the Red Cross Radiology Service and set up France's first military radiology center in 1914, which successfully treated an estimated one million soldiers with x-ray units. Curie was training 150 women to be radiological assistants at the Edith Cavell Hospital in Paris where she set up a laboratory from 1914-1919 on behalf of the wartime foreign medical service. Of the 150 women, 43 physicians came from the U.S., commissioned by the American Red Cross. Certificate is printed in French, and notes that Dr. Parker has successfully completed her exam and can be an aid as a radiologist. Signed ''M. Curie'' at bottom left, next to another signature, possibly ''Dr. Haretz.'' Certificate measures 11.75'' x 8.25''. Some toning, overall very good condition.
