HOW DID MARIE CURIE'S LIFE INFLUENCE OTHERS?

Marie Curie accepted the most dismal working conditions in order to follow her passion for science and investigation. She strove for the greatest possible accuracy. Marie's dedication led to Marie discovering a whole new element (Ra). This fundimental discovery helped to develop technology with raidioactive materials and also to recognise the dangers assosiated in dealing with Radioactivity. Nowadays there are many people with jobs to do with radioactivity, e.g. radiologist, radiographer.
Marie also played a leading role for womens recognition (capabillities) in science. Marie Curie established through her career and scientific knowledge that women have the potential to be great scientists, a fact that was denied be many men at the time.
