Most people know that Marie Curie was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize, and the first
person to win it twice. However, few people know that she was also the mother of a Nobel Prize
winner.
Born in September, 1897, Irene Curie was the first of the Curies" two daughters. Along with nine

When World War I began, Irene went to help her mother, who was using X-ray facilities (设备) to
help save the lives of wounded soldiers. Irene continued the work by developing X-ray facilities in
military hospitals in France and Belgium. Her services were recognised in the form of a Military"s
Medal by the French government.
In 1918, Irene became her mother"s assistant at the Curie Institute. In December 1924, Frederic
Joliot joined the Institute, and Irene taught him the techniques required for his work. They soon fell in
love and were married in 1926. Their daughter Helene was born in 1927 and their son Pierre five
years later.

Prize, along with her husband, in 1935. Unfortunately, also like her mother, she developed leukemia
