Story
The impact of Marie Curie’s work has had a ripple effect across many areas of study, while also proving women’s capabilities in fields once wholly dominated by men. I couldn’t even break the surface of all she’s done, but if you don’t know Curie’s history, here’s the major hits: first woman to be awarded a Nobel prize, discovered radium and polonium, saved lives in WWI with her frontline-ready x-ray machines, and brought attention to radiation’s effect on cancerous cells. Curie’s contributions to the science and health fields are irreplaceable, and she did it all under the watchful eye of a society that told her she couldn’t make a difference because of her gender.
