Marie Curie
Marie Curie was one of the greatest scientific minds in history, and her findings helped to make way for remarkable scientific progress and discoveries. What makes Curie even more amazing is the fact that she was able to achieve great success in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) during a time when women were not welcome in the field.
She coined the term radioactivity and did extensive research, resulting in ground-breaking progress in the field. The first female to become a recipient of the Nobel Prize, she paved the way for countless women scientists. Curie is also the only woman to win two Nobel prizes.
