Adapted from the biography by Eve Curie[edit]

The biography by Madame Curie's daughter Eve was and may still be a famous book. We now cover it in the daughter's biography, section Ève Curie#After Mothers Death.

This article should say more about the relation between the two works. For example, is there a difference in scope? in reading level? in allocation of chapters or pages?

Is the relation between the two works related to the Carnegie Medal controversy? For one, if the only differences were abridgement and illustration, it would not be considered for such an award today. --P64 (talk) 02:41, 10 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Carnegie Medal[edit]

second of two new sections

(quote) According to one history of the Library Association Carnegie Medal, the committee decided to make no 1939 award, early in 1940, affected both by recent criticism and by the coming of war. The award to Doorly and The Radium Woman was made over the heads of the committee.
—[ref] Keith Barker, In the Realms of Gold: The History of the Carnegie Medal, Julia MacRae Books, 1986. [/ref] {clarify |date=September 2012 |reason=what recent criticism? award made by whom over whom?}

The tag {{clarify}} is mine. It will be helpful to specify the "recent criticism" and the controversy specific to this book and award cycle needs full coverage here. For one, winning the Carnegie Medal may be the book's only notability. --P64 (talk) 02:41, 10 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
