She accompanied her mother (as did Irène) when Marie made her first visit to the United States in 1921, seeking a gram of radium for her research at the Radium Institute, and she was impressed by the outpouring of American affection for Marie (her campaign was successful, as $100,000 was raised to purchase the vital gram of radium). Eve was never interested in being a scientist, and she became a journalist and writer instead, penning pieces for a variety of Parisian publications. Eve was 5 when Marie won her second Nobel prize, this time in chemistry, for the discovery of radium and polonium, and 6 when Marie had an affair with married physicist Paul Langevin that was the scandal of Paris in 1911. Eve, quien llegó a ser considerada una de las mujeres más bellas de París en los años 20 y 30, fue una aclamada escritora y activista por los derechos humanos. Eve was not yet born when Marie and Pierre shared a Nobel prize for their early work in the new field of radioactivity in 1903, and she was only 16 months old when Pierre died after being struck by a carriage in the spring of 1906. Eve was the younger daughter of Marie and Pierre Curie, sister to Irène Joliot-Curie, and sister-in-law to Frédéric Joliot-Curie, all of whom had been awarded Nobel Prizes in physics or chemistry by 1935. Eve Curie, writer, biographer, and public spokesperson for the women of France, was born Dec.
