Marie became a beacon for women in science after winning the Nobel Prize in physics. Following her groundbreaking achievements, many women sought her out, leading to a network of female scientists who would go on to make their own marks in academia. Despite the lack of records, the impact of her mentorship is evident, with some women becoming the first female professors in their countries. However, not all followed the scientific path, as seen with Harriet, who chose marriage over her career.
