Who Was Marie Curie?
Marie Curie was a brilliant lady who was the driving force behind one of our greatest ever discoveries: radioactivity. Radioactivity is the phenomenon of certain elements constantly emitting a stream of particles out into the world. Its discovery has helped us in many ways and has numerous practical uses.
Marie Curie was often fighting against the odds due to the misogynistic values of her time, but that did not stop her from pushing on. Her work went on to be the cornerstone of many fields of science. We take a look at who Marie Curie was, and also a look at some of the incredible work she performed.
