Marguerite Perey was a French physicist known for her discovery of the element francium in 1949. Francium is a highly radioactive alkali metal that is extremely rare in nature. Perey was the first woman to work at the Curie Institute in Paris, and she made significant contributions to the study of radioactive elements and their properties. Her work on francium and other radioactive isotopes helped advance the field of nuclear physics.
