             Portrait of  Marie Skłodowska-Curie (November 7, 1867 – July 4, 1934), sometime prior to 1907. Curie and her husband  Pierre shared a  Nobel Prize in Physics in 1903. Working together, she and her husband isolated  Polonium. Pierre died in 1907, but Marie continued her work, namely with  Radium, and received a  Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1911. Her death is mainly attributed to excess exposure to  radiation.
