Marie Curie's contribution to physics was immense, not only in her own work, the importance of which was demonstrated by her Nobel Prizes, but because of her influence on future generations of nuclear physicists and chemists.
This work prepared the way for the discovery of the neutron by Sir James Chadwick and, above all, for the discovery in 1934 by Irene and Frederic Joliot Curie of artificial radioactivity.
In 1921, accompanied by her two daughters, Marie Curie made a triumphant journey to the United States to raise funds for research on radium. Women there presented her with a gram of radium for her campaign.
