Her signature was apparently more often than not M. Curie.

The nobel prize of 1903 refers to her as "Marie Curie, née Sklodowska", meaning that Sklodowska is her maid name but not her name after marriage in French.

Yes, it means it's her maiden name, but née just translates as born. It was her birth name.

Yeah, and it's typically how it is said in French: it refers to your name at birth, which is not current anymore.
