In Lisa's Dream House she wanted a famous women statue gallery, which included Cleopatra, Madame Curie, Gertrude Stein, Eleanor Roosevelt, Amelia Earhart, Myrna Loy, Ella Fitzgerald and Anita Hill, among others.

When Lisa was going to Springfield Nuclear Power Plant on "take your daughter to work day" she told Homer at she is so excited, this must be what Nobel Prize-winning Marie Curie felt like at she sought to unravel the atom, minus the radiation sickness.
