GANDERSHEIM Roswitha von 930? - 973?
Štejejo jo za prvo žensko, ki je napisala književno besedilo v nemščini. Pesmi (dolge epske pesmi, kratke religiozne pesmi) je pisala v heksametrih v latinščini.  Najbolj je znana po svojih šestih igrah (Passio Gallicanus, Dulcitius, Callimachus, Sapientia, Abraham, in Paphnutius) napisanih v stilu Terenca, kjer je rimsko nemoralnost zamenjala s krščansko pobožnostjo.  

Roswitha von Gandersheim  is considered to be the first German woman to have composed literary texts. Her long epic poems one including a fragment on Emperor Otto I, one on the founding of the abbey of Gandersheim, and shorter poems on religious subjects were written in Latin hexameters. She is best known for six plays written in the style of Terence, with intent to supplant Roman immorality by Christian piety. They are Passio Gallicanus, Dulcitius, Callimachus, Sapientia, Abraham, and Paphnutius. Roswith’s plays show considerable power of characterization, a happy sense of humor, and deep piety.

Ruska šahistka je po zmagi nad Elisaveto Bikovo (zmagala je z rezultatom 9:2) leta 1962 postala svetovna šahovska prvakinja. Naslov je ohranila celih 16 let, do leta 1978, ko jo je premagala Maja Chiburdanidze z rezultatom 8,5 : 6,5. Gaprindashvili je ena redkih šahistk, ki bi lahko enakopravno tekmovale na najmočnejših moških turnirjih.

She became the Women's World Champion in 1962, when she won the title from Elisaveta Bikova by a score of 9-2. Gaprindashvili went on to dominate the women's international chess scene, and remained Women's World Champion for 16 years. She finally lost the title to another Georgian, Maja Chiburdanidze, in 1978, losing by the score 8-1/2 to 6-1/2 Nevertheless, in that same year, Gaprindashvili became the first woman to be awarded the unqualified Grandmaster title (which you might call a men's Grandmaster title), in addition to the title designated Women's Grandmaster. Gaprindashvili is one of only a few women who could compete realistically in top level tournaments dominated by male grandmasters.

Švedska igralka s pravim imenom Greta Lovisa Gustafsson je v letih 1922-24 študirala igralstvo. S pomočjo režiserja Mauritza Stillerja, ki  ji je dal umetniško ime, je dobila prvo večjo vlogo  v filmu Gosta Berlings Saga (1932). Leta 1926 se je preselila v ZDA in že s prvim filmom, The Torrent (1926), postala zvezda. Upodabljala je like iz zgodovine in književnosti in kmalu prerasla v mit. Leta 1941 je po neuspehu s filmom Ženska z dvema obrazoma prenehala z nastopanjem. Za življenjsko delo je 1954 prejela oskarja. Pomembnejši filmi: Mata Hari (1932), Grand hotel (1932), Kraljica Kristina (1933), Ana Karenina (1935), Dama s kamelijami (1936), Ninočka (1939).
Na znamki BG-4185 sta še Marilyn Monroe in Marlene Dietrich (njeno ime je napisano na levi strani znamke), toda na znamki je v dejansko upodobljena Greta Garbo.

Greta Garbo (= Greta Lovisa Gustafsson) was brought to Hollywood in 1925. MGM turned her into a beautiful, queenly actress whose ambitious films always made headlines, even if they sometimes lost money. She was known for her shyness, and her sudden retirement in 1941 enhanced the air of mystery that surrounded her for most of her life. Flesh and the Devil (1927) is the best of her silent melodramas. Her first talkie was Anna Christie (1930). Other notable films include Mata Hari (1932), Grand Hotel (1932), As You Desire Me (1932), Queen Christina (1933), Anna Karenina (1935), Camille (1936), Conquest (S-2485)(1937), Ninotchka (1939), and Two-Faced Woman (1941).

GASKELL Elizabeth 29. 9. 1810 - 12. 11. 1865
Angleška pisateljica Elizabeth Cleghorn Stevenson Gaskell v svojih delih opisuje socialne in ekonomske teme. Njen prvi roman Mary Barton napada brezčutnost lastnikov manufaktur. Njen najboljši roman Sever in jug  opisuje socialne in ekonomske razlike med urbanim severom in kmečkim jugom. Njeni kasnejši romani Silvijini ljubimci, Bratranec Filip in posthumno izdan nekompleten Žene in hčerke, kažejo na njeno stalno zanimanje za socialne probleme.

The English author Elizabeth Cleghorn Stevenson Gaskell  was an influential novelist whose works focus upon social and economic themes. Mrs. Gaskell's first novel,  Mary Barton (1848), attacked the callousness of manufacturers. North and South (1855), often considered her finest novel,  contrasted the socioeconomic conditions then existing in the urban north and rural south of England. Her later novels, Sylvia's Lovers (1863), Cousin Phillis (1865), and the posthumously published and incomplete Wives and Daughters (1866), showed continuing concern with social problems. A meeting with Charlotte Bronte in 1850 led to friendship, and, on Miss Bronte's death, Mrs. Gaskell wrote The Life of Charlotte Bronte (1857), a then controversial, but sensitive, biography.

Lady Gregory (on stamp IE-941) was an Irish  playwright, folklorist, and a founder of the Abbey Theatre. In 1880 she married the elderly Sir William Gregory, a noted member of Parliament, and after his death, turned her abundant energies to the collection of Irish folktales and the movement called the Irish Literary Renaissance. In 1899 she helped with William Yeats and others develop the Irish Literary Theatre, which subsequently became the Abbey Theatre. For more than 30 years Lady Gregory directed the fortunes of the  Abbey: conducted rehearsals, wrote letters, read scripts, led the company on American tours, and, most importantly, wrote about 40 plays for it. Her best short comedies, however, Spreading the News (1904), Hyacinth Halvey (1906), The Rising of the Moon (1907), and The Workhouse Ward (1908), resemble the works of a miniature Moliere; and her short tragedy The Gaol Gate (1906) is comparable to John Millington Synge's masterly Riders to the Sea. She translated Moliere and encouraged the work of Synge and younger Irish writers.
