So Maria worked as a governess until 1891 when she began studying at Sorbonne University in Paris. In turn, when Bronia left and got a job she would support Maria while she went to University. Maria would work as a governess (teaching a wealthy family’s children in their own home) and she would support Bronia while she studied at University. So in 1885, she made an arrangement with her sister Bronia. That meant Maria would have to study abroad. Unfortunately at that time, women were not allowed to go to University. Maria herself proved to be a very bright child and did very well at school. (Both were common diseases in the 19th century). However, Zofia died of typhus in 1874 and her mother died of tuberculosis in 1878. She had a brother named Jozef and 3 sisters, Zofia, Bronia, and Helena. They had 4 other children, all of them older than Maria. Her father and mother were both teachers. She was born Maria Sklodowska in Warsaw on 7 November 1867.
