Marie Curie, famous people from history

Marie Curie 

Marie Curie is one of my heroes. Every time I look into her life story I find out something new about her. For example, I did not know that she was involved in creating mobile x-ray facilities during the war. 


There are no prizes for guessing which isotope is behind Marie. 


Here is a link to the BBC history page about Marie Curie and the wiki-page 


I found it difficult to capture the look in her eyes. The photos of Marie Curie show here with a haunted facial expression.
