Oh... not the Nobel Prize for Chemistry then.....

Marie Curie actually won two Nobel Peace Prizes. In 1903, she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in physics. In 1911, she was awarded a second Nobel Peace Prize, this time in chemistry. She was not only the first woman to receive two Nobel Peace Prizes, but she was also the very first person ( no woman or man had ever received two) to receive two prizes.

She was awarded the prize in 1903 for her work on radioactivity. While investigating the properties of uranium and thorium, Curie discovered two new radioactive elements in the uranium-containing mineral pitchblende; radium and polonium.

By the way, in 1911, Marie Curie won her second Nobel Prize, this time in chemistry. She is the only person to win two Nobel Prizes in two different sciences.
