Marie Curie lived by her own rules in a society marred by misogyny and xenophobia. A scientist, but also a loving wife and mother, she defied expectations as a matter of course. Curie also fought for her country during the First World War the best way she knew how-with science. There is much more to Marie Curie's story than the discovery of the radioactive elements that eventually killed her.
