She was also the first female professor at the University of Paris a huge feat at that point in time. As you can tell she is my hero. This page of her quotes is my dedication to a great woman.

Without doubt, these dreamers do not deserve wealth, because they do not desire it. Even so, a well-organized society should assure to such workers the efficient means of accomplishing their task, in a life freed from material care and freely consecrated to research.
