Marie Curie faced a large amount of sexism throughout her life and career, and that only fueled her to work harder to defy gender stereotypes and prejudice. Her determination to defy what society wanted her to be was a main contributor to how she built such a legacy for herself as being one of the first female leaders in science, and for making groundbreaking discoveries.
