Irene finished her high school education at College of Sevigne. She entered the Sorbonne in October,1914 to prepare for a baccalaureate in mathematics and physics. Her education was interrupted by World War I where she helped her mother with the fleet of mobile x-ray facilities. In 1918, Irene, as her mother’s assistant, joined the staff of the Curie Institute.
