she's badass no doubt! ... but to clarify - Linus Pauling was also awarded the Nobel Prize in two categories (only other person to do so) Chemistry and for the Nobel Peace Prize. This makes him the only person to be awarded two unshared Nobel Prizes. Marie Curie is the other person who has a Nobel Prizes in two categories (namely chem - for radium and plonium discovery thorugh electolysis iirc, the latter she named after her native poland, not sure of former - and physics - for radiation work) however she shared her physics nobel prize with Antoine Henri Becquerel as they worked on it together iirc, but that doesnt take anything away from the accomplishment of 2 nobel prizes! only two people have that, her and pauling.

What makes her "badass" is her contribution to physics and chemistry, not winnings of prizes. Nobel Prize is just an exercise in snobbery and she herself often spurned titles and honors.

Except her name is MARIA SKŁODOWSKA. She just happened to marry a Frenchie by the name of Curie. But she kept using her Polish surname. It's a bitter irony that she's remembered as Curie, as many not-overly-educted persons think she was French. By the way, same with Szopen (another Pole you know as Monsieur Chopin) and Kopernik (Copernicus), etc. etc.

A protestors uses a slingshot against Turkish riot police on Taksim square on June 11, 2013. Riot police fired tear gas and rubber bullets to clear protesters from an Istanbul square on June 11 as Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan warned he would show “no more tolerance” for the unrelenting mass demonstrations against his Islamic-rooted government. Hundreds of police stormed the city’s Taksim Square, the epicenter of nearly two weeks of unrest, in the early morning and brought bulldozers to clear the makeshift barriers erected by demonstrators after police pulled out of the area on June 1.(Src: huffpost.com)

This is shameful. I'm from South Africa and seeing her here makes me angry. She is far from a hero. She changed history alright, but not in a good way. I would never refer to her as an activist.
