Marie Curie once said, “Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be misunderstood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.” Marie Curie, a female rights activist who fought to not be ridiculed for her intelligence as it did not match her gender, justified that you do not need to be a man to be able to discover something that is helpful and key. In present day, we still use what Curie enforced. She forced upon the use of radioactive elements to be used in medical examination and care. These radioactive elements were examined and found from uranium samples. She discovered her findings through using her husband’s advanced electrometer, which allowed her to pass through indistinct currents in the air that had been barraged

Firstly, she tested all the acknowledged elements beneficial to actuating if any other elements or minerals would do what uranium does, which is to conduct electricity more efficiently in air. To do this, she asked many of the chemists she knew to assist her in her evidence. The assistants to the experiments bequeathed rare elements hidden in the mineral samples. Through the experiment, she found that uranium gives off Becquerel rays rather than cosmic rays in April 1898. As for her addition to the study of radioactivity, she was invited to London to be guests at the Royal Institution. Many heard about her achievement, such as Ernest Rutherford, who was an innovative researcher in radioactivity. He congratulated her on her achievements and thesis, as the other guests did. Secondly, after Pierre died in a fatal car accident, Marie decided to continue her research and studies of radioactivity even without her significant other who gave her the hope that she may one day be known. Pierre’s brother, Jacques, informed Marie of something quite peculiar, yet kind. The French government approached Marie with an offer to be part of a foundation of money for her and her children through a state pension. She declined the offer as she knew she could keep a stable income. After her rejection to the offer, the university encouraged Marie to continue her husband’s academic post. She accepted, but, would go on to learn how to create a scientific institution for the future to
