HOW DID/DO OTHERS VIEW HER?

THEN:
Back when Marie was trying to convince everyone in the scienific world of her discoveries about Radium (Ra), many people disagreed with Marie's statements, partly because she was female. Some even thought she was trying to change the undertanding of matter itself! A while after, when Marie could prove her theorys people started changing there minds about her, some even started acknowledging her and  looking up to her.When it reached the point where Marie Curie had one two nobel prizes for Physics and Chemistry she was recognised as a leader.

NOW:
Nowadays many people look up to Marie as a pesistant woman who fought for what she believed, and the great scientific leader who discovered a raidium (Ra).
