Ève Curie
Ève Denise Curie Labouisse (; December 6, 1904 – October 22, 2007) was a French and American writer, journalist and pianist. Ève Curie was the younger daughter of
Marie Skłodowska-Curie and
Pierre Curie. Her sister was
Irène Joliot-Curie and her brother-in-law
Frédéric Joliot-Curie. She worked as a journalist and authored her mother's biography ''Madame Curie'' and a book of war reportage, ''
Journey Among Warriors''. From the 1960s she committed herself to work for UNICEF, providing help to children and mothers in developing countries. Ève was the only member of her family who did not choose a career as a scientist and did not win a Nobel Prize, although her husband,
Henry Richardson Labouisse Jr., did collect the Nobel Peace Prize in 1965 on behalf of
UNICEF, completing the
Curie family legacy of five Nobel Prize winners.
