>Marie Curie, frankly, is not a very important physicist. She gets more press than she deserves for two reasons: 1) she was French at a time when France was dominating science and math and 2) she’s a woman, and women are rare in the field.<
There is another factor that very few people know. She herself admitted that her husband, Pierre, did a tremendous amount of the work that brought fame to Marie Curie.
This is not mentioned because all the feminists would have a cow. The trouble with Western Civilization is that women have cowed its men.
Maybe? I don't think she even has any serious competition for the title.
