What is Marie curie best known for?

Answer 1

Marie Curie is best known for her pioneering research, developing a theory of radioactivity, devising isotope isolation/purification methods, and for the discovery of Radium and Polonium. At the time of her research, the dangers of ionising radiation were unknown; Marie did not wear protective clothing or employ any other safety practices in her research, working out of what was essentially a shed and even carrying test tubes of radioactive material in her pockets. She developed aplastic anaemia as a result of her prolonged exposure to radiation, and died in 1934 at the age of 66.

Marie curie had a brother who worked with her, Pierre and he got all the attention until his shocking death when a horse drawn carriage fractured his skull.
