Madame Curie is very well known as a great chemist who discovered radium and won Nobel Prize. Her contributions in Physics are generally not so well-known and much less appreciated. I discuss here Marie Curie’s quantitative work on natural radioactivity and her interpretations that revolutionized Physics of that era and played a very important role in the birth of modern Nuclear Physics.Keywords
