Irène Joliot-Curie
French chemist and physicist (–)
Irène Joliot-Curie (French:[iʁɛnʒɔljokyʁi]ⓘ; néeCurie; 12 September – 17 March ) was a French chemist and physicist who received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry with her husband, Frédéric Joliot-Curie, for their discovery of induced radioactivity.
They were the second married couple, after her parents, to win the Nobel Prize, adding to the Curie family legacy of five Nobel Prizes. This made the Curies the family with the most Nobel laureates to date.[1]
Her mother Marie Skłodowska-Curie and herself also form the only mother–daughter pair to have won Nobel Prizes[2] whilst Pierre and Irène Curie form the only father-daughter pair to have won Nobel Prizes by the same occasion, whilst there are six father-son pairs who have won Nobel Prizes by comparison.[3]
She was also one of the first three women to be a member of a French government, becoming undersecretary for Scientific Research
