Marie Curie

She is a wonderful image of a woman with courage, dedication and a good sense of morals. She was the first women to win two Nobel Prizes: the first in 1903 for helping discover radioactivity and the second in 1911 for finding the elements polonium and radium. She not only had to the struggles of earning these great accomplishments but had to fight the prejudice that followed professional women, having to prove her worth to be maybe even better than that of a man.

Lastly, Marie Curie should be admired for her selflessness. After she married and her husband died she had to struggle with balancing a career while raising her daughters alone.

Secondly, she should be admired for her positive outlook on life even through all discouraging events in her life. Even Albert Einstein said she was not corrupted by fame. t woman to secure a degree in physics at the Sorbone and at the top of her class. Even though she was desperately poor and her mother and sister died when she was still a child, she worked for enough money to go to Paris. Even though she was never wealthy, she donated money to science and even did not take patent to radium because she felt it was wrong. Her desire to help people to the best of her ability should be envied. She bravely believed that if you pursue your dream, things that seem like sacrifices do not matter. She still lived a poor life, but said it was a happy time.
