Marie Curie was a pioneering scientist who made significant contributions to the field of physics and chemistry. She is best known for her work on radioactivity, which she discovered with her husband Pierre Curie. Her daughter Irene Joliot-Curie also became a Nobel Prize-winning scientist. Marie Curie was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize and the only person to win two Nobel Prizes in two different sciences. She also coined the term 'radium' and was known as 'MADAME Curie'. Her legacy lives on through her daughter EVE Curie, who wrote a biography of her mother's life.
