Grammar nerds, power up!

A grammar quiz: presented with the question, 'Name a historical figure you would invite to dinner, and why', which of the following is the grammatically correct response? If you're feeling smug, give reasons.

1) Marie Curie – whom I admire for her views on intellectual property and its impact on scientific research

2) Marie Curie – who I admire for her views on intellectual property and its impact on scientific research

I know the answer, because I've just consulted Butterworths' Grammar for Lawyers, an invaluable resource for any grammar nazi.

Send in your answers, and I'll let you know in a couple of days.
