Irne JoliotCurie was a French scientist, the daughter of Marie Curie and Pierre Curie and the wife of Frdric JoliotCurie. Jointly with her husband, JoliotCurie was awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1935 for their discovery of artificial radioactivity. This made the Curies the family with the most Nobel laureates to date. Both children of the JoliotCuries, Hlne and Pierre, are also esteemed scientists.
Curie was born in Paris, France. After a year of traditional education, which began when she wasyears old, her parents realized her obvious mathematical talent and decided that Irnes academic abilities needed a more challenging environment. Irene joined forces with a number of eminent French scholars, including the prominent French physicist Paul Langevin to form The Cooperative, a private gathering of some of the most distinguished academics in France. Each contributed to educating one anothers children in their respective homes. The curriculum of The Cooperative was varied and included not only the principles of science and scientific research but such diverse subjects as Chinese and sculpture and with great emphasis placed on selfexpression and play.
