The most famous woman poet of all time, known for her lyrics, Sappho was born at Eressos on the Greek island of Lesbos. About her life there is much anecdote, little fact. She was married and had a daughter and sometime between 604 and 595 suffered exile in Sicily. Of her nine books of poems only fragments remain, some recently discovered on Egyptian papyri. Celebrated for her marriage songs (epithalamia), she also wrote hymns, mythological poems, and personal poems of love. Of the last, most are addressed to women, possibly members of a literary circle with strong emotional attachments. Several poems invoking Aphrodite suggest that they may have shared some cult or ceremonial practices. Famous in ancient times for her depiction of passion, Sappho delights in sensuous images of flowers, the moon, the sea, and the night. Her style is straightforward, delicate, melodious, graceful, and witty. The Roman poet Catullus imitated her, and Ovid depicted her legendary love for Phaon in his Heroides.

Marie de Rabutin Chantal, marquise de Sevigne became immortalized when her correspondence of more than 1,500 letters was published posthumously in 1725-26. Born into a distinguished family, she was orphaned early but given an excellent classical education by two uncles. She was married to Henri de Sevigne in 1644 and widowed in 1651. She had two children, one of whom was Francoise Marguerite. This daughter's marriage (1669) to the comte de Grignan separated her from her passionately devoted mother, and she became the recipient of most of her mother's correspondence. Delightfully anecdotal, sometimes containing serious reflection, the letters include portraits of Corneille, La Rochefoucauld, Racine, and Turenne, and they also afford an insight into Madame de Sevigne's own nature.

SLANČIKOVA Božena - Timrava 2. 10. 1867 - 27. 11. 1951

Timrava, born Božena Slančíková was a leading exponent of the late realism style in Slovak literature. Her stories typically feature rural workers, the rural intelligentsia and groups promoting Slovak national interests. She also introduced a type of character new in Slovak literature – a woman with a fully developed psychological profile who feels sorrow and disillusionment in relation to the fin de siècle social atmosphere. Her works display autobiographical elements, criticism, irony, and a focus on character psychology. In her later writings she concentrated on serious social issues. Among the best-known of her short stories and novels are: Za koho ísť?, Pomocník, Ťažké položenie, Tak je darmo, Pozde, Nemilí, Bál, Skúsenosť, Bez hrdosti, Veľké šťastie, Tá zem vábna, Márnosť všetko, Ťapákovci, Hrdinovia, Skon Paľa Ročku, Dve doby, and Záplava. She also wrote plays occasionally, but these did not reach the heights of her prose works.

SMOSARSKA Jadwiga 23. 9. 1898 - 1. 11. 1971

Star of prewar Polish cinema, as well as successful Warsaw theatrical actress, Smosarska was voted the most popular actress several times by film viewers in Poland. Smosarska became Sfinks's leading star in the 1920s after Pola Negri`s departure for Germany. She started her career by playing supporting roles in propagandist patriotic pictures dealing with the Polish-Soviet war, such as Miracle on the Vistula (1921). She achieved fame later, appearing in a number of melodramas produced by Sfinks, such as The Tram Stop Mystery (1922) and The Slave of Love (1923). The peak of her career was the box-office hit of the 1920s, an unsophisticated love story that goes beyond class borders, The Leper (1926). The war halted her career. In 1939 she managed to leave Poland and settle in the United States where she stayed until 1970. She returned to Poland one year before her death.

SODERGRAN Edith 4. 4. 1892 - 2. 6. 1923

Now credited with introducing modernism to Finland, the Swedish-language poet Edith Irene Sodergran, went virtually unrecognized during her lifetime. The extreme individualism and visionary aestheticism characteristic of her poetry reveal the influence of Nietzsche and Walt Whitman. Landet som icke ar (The Land That Is Not, 1925) contains some of her best work. She had little contact with other writers, but generations of Swedish and Finnish poets subsequently learned from her, and her fame has continued to grow.

SPASOJEVIĆ Neda 16. 4. 1941 – 16. 7. 1981

Serbian sctrees. Even nowadays, it can be heard in the theatres: This could be done just by Neda! She was classified among the most tender tragic actresses of the Serbian stage. Neda began with the tragedy, as Electra in Kis’s adaptation of Euripides. The main connecting factor between her private personality and great dramatic roles was her readiness and capability for sacrifice. That was the reason why she could, with such suggestive power, stand behind her noble, unfortunate, fragile or wild women, whatever was their crucial choice. She wasn’t showing off feelings, and she was unique among our actresses by the power to express the sensitive world of her personalities, as well on the screen as on the theatre stage. She was the wonderfully beautiful, touching, straight and tragic Simovic’s Hasanaginica.

Madame de Stael wrote voluminously De la litterature consideree dans ses rapports avec les institutions sociales (The Influence of Literature upon Society) was published in 1800 and established her reputation.

STEIL Marie-Henriette 3. 8. 1898 - 18. 12. 1930
luksemburška pisateljica

Born in Luxembourg, Marie-Henriette Steil was one of the few Luxembourg women of her times to make a name for herself as a writer. Even though she has been virtually forgotten today, this remarkable and engaging young woman deserves an important place in the pantheon of great national authors. Although Marie-Henriette Steil wrote serials for newspapers, it was above all with her work Tier und Mensch, harmlose Geschichten von Marie-Henriette Steil illustrated by Auguste Trémont that made her famous. Well constructed, her stories, sometimes ironic, sometimes full of humour as Das Lachen des Herzen, were always inspired by reality and were characterised by real compassion for the most disadvantaged as in Der Schandfleck. Unfortunately, she died at the young age of 32 years, before knowing the blossoming of her art and writing career.

STUPICA Mira 17. 8. 1923 - 16. 8. 2016
Po mnenju mnogih je Mira največja srbska igralka. Poleg Milene Dravić je bila razglašena za igralko 20. stoletja. Z možem in režiserjem, vodilnim likom Bojanom Stupico, je postavila tako temelje kot viške ne le v gledališkem življenju v regiji, temveč tudi kulture v najširšem in najbolj popolnem pomenu besede. Vesela, energična, predvsem očarljiva, karizmatična ... Med obiskom Pariza kjer je nastopala v Dundo Maroje in Jegorja Buličova so ji gostitelji, ko so videli, kakšna igralka je, dali obleko Sarah Bernhardt, do katere so dostopali le posebni. Igrala je Petrunjelo, Mirandolino, baronico Castelli, Glorijo, Nastasijo Filipovno, Sašo Negina, Grushenka, Madamme Saint Gene, princeso Xenia, največje like domače in svetovne klasične in moderne literature. Prejela je vse pomembne gledališke in filmske nagrade in priznanja. Leta 2000 je izdala knjigo spominov Peščica soli.

According to many, she is the greatest Serbian actress. Alongside Milena Dravić, she was declared the actress of the 20th century. With her husband and director, a leading figure Bojan Stupica, she built both the foundations and heights not only of the theatre life in the region, but also those of culture in the widest and most complete sense of the word. Cheerful, energetic, above all charming, charismatic... During her visit to Paris with the plays Dundo Maroje and Jegor Buličov, the hosts, seeing what kind of actress she was, gave her the clothes of Sarah Bernhardt, which were only accessed by the special ones. She played Petrunjela, Mirandolina, Baroness Castelli, Gloria, Nastasia Filipovna, Saša Negina, Grushenka, Madamme Saint Gene, Princess Xenia, the greatest characters of domestic and world classical and modern literature. She received all the significant theatre and movie awards and acknowledgements. She published the book of memoires A handful of salt, in 2000.

Avstrijska pisateljica številnih protivojnih novel in neumorna borka za svetovni mir Berta von Suttner je vplivala na odločitev Alfreda Nobela, da ustanovi tudi nagrado za mir. To nagrado je leta 1905, kot prva ženska tudi sama dobila. Njeno glavno delo je Dol z orožjem (1889), isto ime pa je imel tudi njen pacifistični časopis (1892-99). Von Suttnerjeva je organizirala in vodila Avstrijsko društvo prijateljev miru.  

An Austrian author of numerous antiwar novels and a tireless worker for world peace, Bertha von Suttner was influential in Alfred Nobel's decision to establish the celebrated Nobel Peace Prize, of which she was the    first female recipient (1905). The title of her major work, Die Waffen nieder (1889, Lay Down Your Arms), also became the name of her celebrated pacifist journal (1892-99). Von Suttner organized and headed the Austrian Society of Peace Lovers.

She (Lill-Babs) is a Swedish singer and actress. In 1954, she recorded her first record "Min mammas boogie" under the name "Lill-Babs.", a combination of the Swedish word 'little' and the Anglicized nickname for Barbro/Barbara. In 1958, she went on her first self-produced tour and was cast in the movie Fly mig en greve with comedian Carl-Gustaf Lindstedt. In the 1960s, Barbro's own fan-club Splorr was created and became the largest in Sweden with 17,000 members. The stamp depicts her on two separate occasions; the one on the right is a show arranged by Tage Danielsson at a people’s park. One of the songs Lill-Babs sang was There Once Was a Sailor.

SZABO Ilona 1939 - 29. 10. 1956
Madžarska borka za svobodo je bila po spominih stara komaj 17 let in štiri mesece noseča, ko se je s prijatelji zapletla v dogodke revolucije. Z orožjem se je borila skupaj s svojim zaročencem Gáborjem Dilinkójem v Corvin Passageu. 28. oktobra 1956 jo je v ulici Práter Street ustrelila politična policija in njeno truplo vrgla v jerek poln odpadkov.

She was a freedom fighter, who, according to recollections, was just 17 years old and four months pregnant when she became involved in the events of the revolution with her friends. She fought with arms alongside her fiancée Gábor Dilinkó in Corvin Passage. Eventually, she was shot in all probability by the political police in Práter Street on 28 October 1956 and her body thrown into a ditch full of waste.

SZABO Magda 5. 10. 1917 - 19. 11. 2007
Rodila se je in študirala v Debrecenu. Leta 1940 je diplomirala iz latinščine in madžarščine na Univerzi v Debrecenu. Med letoma 1945 in 1949 je delala na Ministrstvu za verske zadeve in izobraževanje. Najprej je objavila nekaj pesniških del, kasneje pa je postala priznana s svojimi romani. Leta 1949 je objavila druga zbirko poezije (Back to the Human). Zanjo je prejela nagrado Baumgarten, vendar so ji nagrado takoj odvzeli in jo odpustili iz službe. Pristojni organi so jo utišali. Ni ji bilo dovoljeno objavljati še skoraj desetletje. Njeni romani Fresco in The Fawn, objavljeni leta 1958 in 1959 so jo pripeljali do širšega občinstva. Njena avtobiografska dela so The Ancient Well (1970) in Old-Fashioned Story (1971). Njeni otroški in mladinski romani, Tell Young Sophie (1958), Island Blue (1959) in Lara the Fairy (1965) so čudovito in miselno branje za vse starosti. Do danes ostaja ena najbolj prevajanih madžarskih avtorjev.

Magda Szabó was born and studied in Debrecen. She obtained a teaching and arts degree in Latin and Hungarian at the University of Debrecen in 1940. Between 1945 and 1949 she worked for the Ministry of Religious Affairs and Education. First she published volumes of poetry, later won a reputation with her novels and then reaped success with her works for stage. In 1949, the year her second volume of poetry (Back to the Human), was published, she won the Baumgarten Prize, but the award was immediately withdrawn and she was dismissed from her job. She was silenced by the authorities and not allowed to publish for almost a decade. Her novels Fresco and The Fawn, published in 1958 and 1959 respectively, brought her to the attention of a wider audience.Her autobiographically inspired works are The Ancient Well (1970) and Old-Fashioned Story (1971). Her children’s and youth novels, Tell Young Sophie (1958), Island Blue (1959), and Lara the Fairy (1965), are fascinating and thought-provoking reading for all ages. To this day she remains one of the most translated Hungarian authors.
