Marie Sklodowska-Curie, an extraordinary woman, a Polish scientist who lived and worked in France, led to the development of nuclear energy and the treatment of cancer. She was the laureate of two Nobel Prizes, the first woman in Europe who obtained the degree of Doctor of Science and opened the way for women to enter fields which had been previously reserved for men only. As a result of her determination and her love of freedom, she has become an icon for many female scientists active in radiation sciences. They are successors of Maria Curie and without the results of their work, improvement in radiation oncology will not be possible. Many of them shared some elements of Maria Curie's biography, like high ethical and moral standards, passionate dedication to work, strong family values, and scientific collaboration with their husbands. The significance of Tikvah Alper, Alma Howard, Shirley Hornsey, Juliana Denekamp, Helen Evans, Eleanor Blakely, Elizabeth L. Travis, Fiona Stewart, Andree Dutreix, Catharine West, Peggy Olive, Ingela Turesson, Penny Jeggo, Irena Szumiel, Eleonor Blakely, Sara Rockwell and Carmel Mothersill contribution to radiation oncology is presented. All the above mentioned ladies made significant contribution to the development of radiotherapy (RT) and more efficient cancer treatment. Due to their studies, new schedules of RT and new types of ionizing radiation have been applied, lowering the incidence of normal tissue toxicity. Their achievements herald a future of personalized medicine.
玛丽·居里（Marie Sklodowska-Curie）是一位非凡的女性，她是一位在法国生活和工作的波兰科学家，推动了核能发展和癌症治疗。她是两项诺贝尔奖的获得者，是欧洲第一位获得科学博士学位的女性，为女性进入此前仅由男性占据的领域开辟了道路。由于她的决心和对自由的热爱，她已成为许多活跃于放射科学领域的女性科学家的偶像。她们是玛丽·居里的后继者，没有她们的工作成果，放射肿瘤学的进步就不可能实现。她们中的许多人有着与玛丽·居里相似的人生经历，比如高尚的道德标准、对工作的热忱奉献、强烈的家庭观念，以及与丈夫的科研合作。本文介绍了蒂克瓦·阿尔珀（Tikvah Alper）、阿尔玛·霍华德（Alma Howard）、雪莉·霍恩西（Shirley Hornsey）、朱莉安娜·德内坎普（Juliana Denekamp）、海伦·埃文斯（Helen Evans）、埃莉诺·布莱克利（Eleanor Blakely）、伊丽莎白·L·特拉维斯（Elizabeth L. Travis）、菲奥娜·斯图尔特（Fiona Stewart）、安德烈·迪特雷克斯（Andree Dutreix）、凯瑟琳·韦斯特（Catharine West）、佩吉·奥利夫（Peggy Olive）、英格ela·图勒松（Ingela Turesson）、彭妮·杰戈（Penny Jeggo）、伊雷娜·舒米尔（Irena Szumiel）、埃莉诺·布莱克利（Eleonor Blakely）、萨拉·罗克韦尔（Sara Rockwell）和卡梅尔·莫瑟西尔（Carmel Mothersill）对放射肿瘤学的贡献。上述所有女士都为放射治疗（RT）的发展以及更有效的癌症治疗做出了重大贡献。由于她们的研究，新的放疗方案和新型电离辐射得以应用，降低了正常组织毒性的发生率。她们的成就预示着个性化医疗的未来。
