She was a younger daughter of Marie. Her father died when she was 2. She used to say that she was the only person from her family without a Nobel award. She was an accomplished pianist and a biographer of her mother:
Born in Paris, Eve Curie was graduated at the Sevigne College a Bachelor of Science, and later as Bachelor of Philosophy, in both cases with honors. At the age of sixteen she accompanied her mother, Mme. Curie, in the latter's grand tour of the United States.
Actively interested in music, Mlle. Curie has devoted years to the study of the piano. She gave her first concert in Paris in 1925; since then she has given many concerts in Paris, in the French provinces, and in Belgium.
She later turned to music criticism. For several years, under a pseudonym, she was music critic of the weekly journal Candide. She has also written many articles on other subjects, notably the cinema and the theatre.
Since the death of her mother, Mlle. Curie has lived in a small apartment in Auteuil, collecting and classifying the papers, manuscripts and personal documents left by Mme. Curie. Having decided to write the biography of her famous mother, she went to Poland in the autumn of 1935, to obtain all possible material on the youth of Mme. Curie.
She brought back to France a quantity of letters, photographs, and other papers and at once began the composition of this book, which has been published simultaneously in the United States, England, France, Italy and Spain as well as in other countries of Europe.
