poučevala irščino. Leta 1910 se je poročila z enim od svojih študentov
Éamonom de Valera učiteljem matematike, ki je 1932 postal predsednik irske
vlade.Takrat je začela pisati zgodbe za otroke v angleščini in irščini.

She (on label of

wife of the Irish republican leader and third President of Ireland, Éamon de
Valera. She trained as a teacher and took up her first post in a national
school in Dorset Street, Dublin. In her spare time she taught Irish with the
Gaelic League in Parnell Square. One of her Irish students was Éamon de
Valera, then a teacher of mathematics. On 1910 they were married. During her
husband's 50 years in public life she played little or no public role.
Following the Easter Rising in 1916 she saw little of her husband. In 1932
de Valera became head of the government, and Sinéad de Valera started
writing stories for children in both English and Irish. Though she kept to
the background as far as public matters were concerned, Sinéad was a highly
political person. Rumours differ, however, as to whether she was in fact
more moderate or more radical than her husband. During her husband's
fourteen years as President of Ireland she appeared in public on only very
rare occasions. She wrote a book, Scealta Sí, which retold in her own
words twelve traditional Irish stories.

knjigo o ljubezni in veselja do življenja. Kesneje je izdala še več
pesniških zbirk: Morgonen - 1930, Strender - 1933,
Lykkelige hender - 1936 in Tung tids tale - 1945. Napisala je
tudi dve avtobiografski deli: I Midtbøs bakkar (1974) in Baten om

She is regarded
as one of Norway’s most prominent female lyric poets. Literature had an
important place in her life. At the age of nine, she was already writing
stories for a children’s magazine. She made her debut as a lyric poet in

published new collections in 1930 (Morgonen), in 1933 (Strender),
in 1936 (Lykkelege hender) and in 1945 (Tung tids tale). Her
poems were easy to understand, which was probably one of the reasons why she
was able to retain her popularity as a poet throughout the post-war period
without publishing another collection until 1995. After the war she wrote a
youth novel and factual prose. She also wrote two memoirs of her life with
Tarjei Vesaas: I Midtbøs bakkar (1974) and Båten om dagen

Louise Elisabeth Vigee-Lebrun achieved an international reputation as a portraitist during her lifetime. She served as painter to Queen Marie Antoinette until the French Revolution forced her into an exile that lasted 12 years. Having escaped with her daughter to Italy, she continued to receive commissions as she traveled and was warmly welcomed in Europe's major capitals. Vigee-Lebrun was introduced to painting by her father, a pastel portraitist who recognized her talent and supported her training. In 1783 she was admitted to the Academie Royale. Her style of portraiture catches her sitters looking alert; they are generally placed within their typical surroundings. For example,
Marie Antoinette and Her Children (1787, Versailles Palace) is set in a room of the palace, and the painter in
Hubert Robert (1788, Louvre, Paris) is seen at work, holding his palette and brushes. According to her own memoirs, Vigee-Lebrun painted about 900 works, of which more than 200 were landscapes and the remainder mainly portraits.
