# Marie Curie · the top woman of the 1910s

*Decade of 1901–1910 — TOP WOMAN OF THE WORLD.*

## Why number one
The Nobel in Physics (1903); she had named radioactivity itself.

## The margin
By the rule of the board, **Marie Curie is exactly +50.495495% more right than number ten** — who, this decade, was **Emmeline Pankhurst**. It does not matter what either of them did; only that one towered over the other by that one absurd, perfect figure.

## The kind of dominance — electrical
This is **electrical** dominance: invention and the machine (`#3fd0e0`).
