Marie Curie has a great legacy. The data Curie collected helped us get and understand the data we have today. Her discovery of radioactivity went against what they already know and they started to change their minds about everything. Her discovery of Radium helped other scientists form and gather new things like the structure of a atom. She was honest and had a moderate lifestyle. She got a small scholarship in 1983 and then ,guess what ,she returned it in 1897! She had to overcome many barriers because she was a woman. She is very kind because she gave a lot of her Nobel prize money away to friends and family. She wouldn't accept gifts and awards , but instead that they were given to Scientific Institutions. Her discoveries were so mind blowing that they will never ever be forgotten.
