Marie Curie was not the only woman to win a noble prize, she won two. Marie Curie was born in occupied Poland and helped people in World Word 1. She discovered Polognum and Radiun and Radioactivity and also made discoveries in x-rays. The book Curie was written by Sarh Dry.

In this story our character was one of the most ambitious woman of her time even if she they wasn't inequality for woman. Marie Curie did something that any woman did in our time. "She was not the only woman to win a Nobel Prize, she won two"(Dry). She discovered two elements. Marie discovered Polonium and Radium. Those two elements make her think about radioactivity. After discovering Radium, she thanked about a new substance called radioactivity. Curie was inspired by a scientist to make discoveries on x-rays. Wilhelm Rontgen inspired Marie Curie to make discoveries on x-rays; it was the only thing that she makes discoveries on without being discovered by Curie.

Pierre Curie also inspired Marie; Marie had a choice between staying in Poland and marrying Pierre the scientist. "She and Pierre were married in a simple ceremony."(Dry 21) If Marie didn't stay in France, she won't do what she did. Pierre inspired Curie by visiting different laboratory, one of them where she find the element Radium. If Curie wasn't inspired by those people she will never do what she did.
