Z željo, da bi učile tuje jezike je Charlotte Brönte (psevdonim Currer Bell) s sestrama (Emily Bronte, Ann Brönte) študirala v Bruslju. Tam je tudi poučevala in delala kot guvernanta. Ko se je vrnila v Anglijo, je ostala sama, da skrbi za svojega očeta. Leta 1947 izdana novela Jane Eyre je dosegla takojšen uspeh. Leta 1849 je izdala novelo Shiley z močnimi avtobiografskimi elementi. V noveli Villette izdani 1853 opisuje Bruseljske izkušnje. Po njeni smrti pa sta bili izdani noveli Professor in Emma.

With sisters (Emily Bronte, Ann Brönte), Charlotte Brönte  studied at Brussels, to prepare themselves to teach foreign languages. Charlotte served in the school as a teacher and was governess to several famillies. In 1847 she published Jane Eyre.

Camilla Bruerberg has achieved great recognition with her C/BRUERBERG line - designs for confident men, for men who are not afraid to be different, as she says herself.

Camilla Bruenberg is a graduate of the Oslo National Academy of the Arts. She has drawn a great deal of inspiration from working with Norwegian musicians like Morten Harket and the Røyksopp duo and cultural institutions such as Det Norske Teatret.

BURGUND Maria von 1457 - 1482
Po smrti svojega očeta je leta 1477 postala Luxemburška vojvodinja. Še istega leta se je poročila z nadvojvodom Mksimiljanom avstrijskim. S tem je preprečila priključitev Luxemburga Franciji, ki je zahtevala lastnišvo na vojvodstvo od leta 1437, ko je izumrla moška linija v Luxemburgu.

She was the daughter of Charles the Bold, Duke of Burgundy (and of Luxembourg); she became Duchess of Luxembourg upon her father's death in Nancy on January 5, 1477. Later in 1477, she married archduke Maximilian of Austria (the Holy Roman Emperor from 1493-1519), an act which effectively prevented Luxembourg from being annexed by French kings who had claimed ownership of the Duchy since the extinction in 1437 of the male line of the imperial branch of the House of Luxembourg. As Duchess of Luxembourg, Marie of Burgundy strengthened considerably the fortress of Luxembourg and equipped the ramparts with cannons. This was sufficient to withstand the assault in 1479 of the Duke of Amboise, the head of a French army. After this failure, serious opposition to the Burgundian rule of Luxembourg ceased. Marie's benevolent acts were instrumental in securing the loyalty of Luxembourg to Burgundy. She restored the granted privileges of many towns, monasteries, and corporations; restored the confiscated seal; and restored the city hall of Luxembourg City.

BUTLER Josephine 13. 4. 1828 – 30. 12. 1906
Britanska feministka in socialna reformatorke iz viktorijanske dobe se je zavzemala za pravice žensk in možnost dostopa do višje izobrazbe. Bila je ključna pri uspešnem boju za razveljavitev zakona »Nalezljive bolezni«, ki so jih uporabljali za zavrnitev državljanskih pravic žensk, za katere se sumili, da so prostitutke. Borila se je proti otroški prostituciji in za žensko volilno pravico.

A Victorian era British feminist and social reformer campaigned for women’s rights and access to higher education. She was pivotal in the successful battle to repeal the Contagious Diseases Acts, which were used to deny civil rights to women suspected of being prostitutes, and later campaigned against child prostitution and for female suffrage.

She exhibited at the first Belfast Art Society show and was one of the first nine academicians elected by the Ulster Academy of Arts in 1930. It wasn't until 1937 that she was granted full membership of the Royal Society of Painters in Water Colours, having become an associate as early as 1896.
