As Atticus said “I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand.” He is right, not only man have courage, sometimes, woman can be more courageous than man. Ms. Dubose is a character in the “To kill a mocking bird” by Harper Lee. She always sat on the porch, when Jem and Scout passed by, she always gazed them wrathfully and said they would got nothing in the future. She was strict with the way of greeting and said that Scout was an ugly girl. She is such a mean woman. But Atticus told them the fact after she died. She planned to leave this world beholden to nothing and nobody. She was a morphine addict, but she meant to break herself of it before she died even she knew she would have a shorter life without morphine. Even a man can hardly do such things, but she did. She is really a courageous woman who encouraged me to be a steel woman. And the movie “Madame Curie”（[]）shows the life of Marie Curie. Madame Curie is the first female winner of the Noble Prize and she had wined it twice in different areas. Unfortunately, after she won her first Noble Prize in Physics with her husband in 1903, Mr. Curie died because of car crashed. However, she never gave up exploring in the science. She devoted herself to the work, so she won the Noble Prize in Chemistry in 1911. She was working even in the last time in her life. They are both courageous women who should receive the respect from others. There is no doubt that Madame Curie encouraged so many people around the world to realize their dreams. Although Ms. Dubose is a small character, but she still shows the steel aspect of the women. We should cherish such valuable spirit
