	Madame Curie, by Eve Curie
		In the biography by her daughter, Eve Curie, the reader is brought closer to "Madame Curie" the woman who, in collaboration with Pierre Curie, discovered and studied a new chemical element she called radium and whose radiation was far more intense than that of any other known element.
		At Pierre Curie’s death in 1906, she faced increasing difficulties but was able to manage the care and education of two young daughters and keep her scientific research uninterrupted until her death in 1934.
		Madame Pierre Curie, Professor at the Sorbonne, Nobel Prize in Physics and Nobel Prize in Chemistry died at Sancellemoz, Haute-Savoie, France at the age of 67.
