What fundamental change in your understanding of the atom was brought about by the work of Marie curie?
In the 1800s, atoms were viewed as completely unchangeable. Thus, if left by themselves in the pure form of an element, nothing would happen. The Curies were able to show that some atoms gave off radioactivity even if their element was in a completely pure form.

No one has ever won two Nobel Prizes in two different fields, and she won one in physics (1903) and one in chemistry (1911). Her work in the early days of radioactive materials was fundamental to the development of "nuclear stuff" that brought us along to nuclear reactors and nuclear weapons. A link to the Wikipedia article on this amazing woman of science is provided.
