She was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize, and the only woman to win it twice in two different sciences; physics and chemistry. She was also the first woman to become a professor at the University of Paris. Marie Curie is known to be an iconic and inspiring figure in science, and an inspiration to women around the world.
