She gets a mention.
Under her maiden name.
In her husband’s entry.
With no separate entry for herself, even.
Hmm.
Pierre Curie has an entry in the 1922 Larousse Universel Encyclopaedia. Marie Curie does not.

“Hmm” indeed. As it doesn’t mention her second Nobel, either (awarded 11 years before the Encyclopaedia’s publication), this suggests it’s “not a very good encyclopaedia”.
