Curie who coined the term "radioactivity"

I believe the answer is:

marie

(Other definitions for marie that I've seen before include "-- Curie, scientist" , "- Lloyd, English music- hall entertainer" , "girl" , "-- Antoinette" , "French queen, d.1793" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
