Family of Nobel Prize winners

 I have subscribed to A.Word.A.Day for more than a year now. Initially I used to read every single word that was sent across and tried to incorporate the word atleast once in a sentence that day. Lately I have not followed all the words and only occasionally practice them.

 But today, I found this interesting piece:

"Winning even one Nobel Prize is a big deal. Marie Curie received two (in physics and chemistry). But then hers was a family of high achievers: her husband, their daughter, and their son-in-law were also Nobel laureates.

Similarly, having one's name turned into a word in the language is a rare feat. Yet there are some, both real and fictional characters, who have accomplished this more than once. This week we feature five such people."

 I researched a little on this and found details about her family. This is what this site had to say:

"The Curie's elder daughter, Iréne, married Frédéric Joliot in 1926 and they were joint recipients of the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1935. The younger daughter, Eve, married the American diplomat H.R. Labouisse. They have both taken lively interest in social problems, and as Director of the United Nations' Children's Fund he received on its behalf the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo in 1965. She is the author of a famous biography of her mother, Madame Curie (Gallimard, Paris, 1938), translated into several languages."

 A very talented family indeed !!
