RACHEL Elisa 21.2.1821 - 3.1.1858
Francoska klasična tragedinja je 17 let dominirala v gledališču Comedie-Francaise. Rachel, rodila se je v Švici kot Elisa Felix, je prepevala po ulicah Lyona in Pariza. Njeno nadarjenost je odkril igralec in dramatik Isidore Samson, ki jo je na konzervatoriju učil igralske tehnike. Rachel je svoje igralske drže naštudirala na klasičnih kipih, vokalne intonacije in geste pa je vadila na številnih akademskih predstavah. Pri sedemnajstih je v Camedie-Francaise debitirala kot Camille v Corneillovem Horacu. Javnost in tisk sta jo takoj povzdignila v novo zvezdnico. Čeprav je bila drobno in visoka manj kot 150 cm, je na odru prevladala s svojo aristokratsko držo, ognjevitimi pogledi in intenzivno koncentracijo. Rachel so občudovali zaradi njene pantonime, mrzličnega razburjenja, ki ga je vnesla v klimaktične scene. Počasi je začela narekovati strategijo in program gledališča ter njeno opremo in osebje podrejati svoji volji. Največkrat je nastopala v Cornellovih in Racinovih igrah. Največje zmagoslavje je dosegla v Racinovi Fedri. Gostovala je tudi v Angliji, Rusiji, Italiji, Nemčiji in Belgiji. Zaradi napornih turnej in nestanovitnega razvpitega privatnega življenja je zbolela za tuberkulozo in januarja 1858 umrla v Parizu, kjer je tudi pokopana. 

French classical tragedienne (original name  Élisa Félix)  who dominated the Comédie-Française for 17 years. Rachel sang on the streets of Lyon and Paris, where her acting ability was quickly discovered by Isidore Samson, who taught her the acting techniques that he had learned from François-Joseph Talma.

Portuguese Painter was educated in English schools while growing up and attended the Slade School of Art. There, she studied under Coldstream and also met and married fellow painter, Victor Willing. The couple lived in Portugal for some time before moving to London in 1963. Rego’s early work was strongly influenced by Dubuffet and she made abstract collages sometimes with political themes. However, her later work became figurative and she began creating compositions influenced by childhood stories and memories. A successful artist in the United Kingdom and Portugal, Rego became the first Associate Artist of the National Gallery in London in 1990. She also produced a mural in the Sainsbury Wing of the gallery in 1991.

She was a Portuguese singer and actress. She was known as the Rainha do Fado ("Queen of Fado") and was most influential in popularizing fado worldwide. She was one of the most important figures in the genre's development, and enjoyed a 50-year recording and stage career. Amália wrote the rulebook on what fado could be and on how a female fadista—or fado singer—should perform it, to the extent that she remains an unsurpassable model and an unending source of repertoire for all those who came afterwards. Amália enjoyed an extensive international career between the 1950s and the 1970s, although in an era where such efforts were not as easily quantified as today. She was the main inspiration to other well-known international fado and popular music artists such as Madredeus, Dulce Pontes, and Mariza.

Napiše feministično študijo Frauen im Laufgitter. Spodbuja ženska naj se same osvobodijo tradicionalnih pogledov na ženske. Knjiga povzroči polno negativnih kritik in je verjetno vzrok, da leta 1959 v Švici ni bila sprejeta volilna pravica za ženske.

The book started such a scandal that it also was proscribed by the feminist women and was made responsible in 1959 for the refusal by the Swiss people of the right to vote of the women.

Rumbo Urani 1884 - 1936
Albanska publicistka, borka za ženske pravice se je rodila v času poskusov osvoboditve Albancev izpod Turkov kjer je tudi sama delovala. Borila se je tudi za napredek Albancev v kulturi in izobraževanju. Ustanovila je prvo žensko društvo Përparimi (Napredek) z namenom dviga izobrazbe in kulture žensk.    

Urani Rumbo, a teacher and proponent of education and culture all her life, was committed to the emancipation of the Albanian people and in particular of women. She was born at a time of great changes, when Albanian people were in the heat of their attempts for liberation from the Ottoman yoke.  From an early age, she aided the attempts of the Albanians for liberty and at the same time was directly engaged in the progress of Albanian culture and education. Urani’s unsparing commitment bore fruit in the foundation of the first association of women in the city of Gjirokastra.  This was the women’s club called Përparimi (Progress), which both had an impact on raising the educational and cultural level of women and gave them moral support for going further on the paths of emancipation that had been opened. Urani’s activity was also visible as a member of the progressive Gjirokastër association Drita (the Light).  With the help of this association, in her continuing attempts for gender equality and emancipation, Urani succeeded in having the high school of Gjirokastër attended both by boys and by girls.  This school thus became one of the first temples of common education without distinction of sex.

Ruslanova Lidija 27.10.1900 - 21.9.1973
Bila je ena izmed največjih in najbolj priljubljenih izvajalcev ruskih ljudskih pesmi. Najprej je  pela za ruske vojake v času ruske državljanske vojne. Debitirala kot profesionalna pevka v Rostov-na-Donu leta 1923. Med drugo svetovno vojno je nenehno potovala od ene do druge fronte in pomagala krepiti pogum vojakov s svojimi domoljubnimi pesmimi, ki so jih pisali prav zanjo Znani sta njeni pesmi Valenki in Katjuša, ki jo je kot prva zapela leta 1938. V bitki za Berlin je nastopila na stopnicah požganega Reichstaga. Bila naj bi najbolj bogata ženska v Sovjetski zvezi, financirala je izdelavo dveh baterij raket Katjuša. Zaradi grobega vedenja in drznega jezika je postala potencialna grožnja za sovjetske oblasti. Tri leta po zmagi so Lidijo in njenega moža generala Vladimira Kryuchkova aretirali in obsodili na 10 let delovnega taborišča. Po Stalinovi smrti se je lahko vrnila v Moskvo.

She was one of the greatest and best-loved performers of Russian folk songs. She first started singing for Russian soldiers during the Russian Civil War. She debuted as a professional singer in Rostov-on-Don in 1923. During World War II she ceaselessly toured from one front to another, helping to boost the soldiers' courage with her patriotic songs. Her signature songs were Valenki and Katyusha, written specially for her. During the Battle of Berlin she performed on the doorsteps of the smouldering Reichstag. Ruslanova was reputedly the richest woman in Soviet Russia and even financed the construction of two Katyusha batteries, which she presented to the Red Army in 1942. Her rough manners and racy language appealed to the soldiers to such a point that she came to be regarded as a potential threat to the Soviet authorities. Three years after the victory, Lidiya and her husband, General Vladimir Kryuchkov, were arrested and sentenced to 10 years of camp labour for alleged anti-Soviet activities. After Stalin's death, she was permitted to return to Moscow.

RutherForD Margaret 11.5.1892 - 22.5.1972
Priljubljena britanska gledališka in filmska igralka komičnih vlog. Njena osnovna izobrazba je učitelj govorništva, kar se je poznalo pri njenem nastopanju. Leta 1945 je dobila prvo veliko filmsko vlogo (odigrala jo je tudi v gledališču) kot jasnovidka Madame Arcati v filmu Blithe Spirit. Leta 1966 ja nastopila kot Mistress Quickly v filmu Orsona Wellsa Chimes at Midnight. Leta 1963 je prejela oskarja za najboljšo stransko igralko v filmu VIP.

Margaret Rutherford was a much-loved English comic character actress, her quiddity summed up in The Demi-Paradise (1943) where Penelope Dudley Ward tries to explain her to Olivier's Russian visitor and ends up just laughing helplessly "Well, you've seen her for yourself!". She was originally a teacher of elocution, which left its mark on the highly developed comic instrument of her voice. In 1945 she played the first of her great roles in film (which she had also performed on stage), the clairvoyant Madame Arcati in Blithe Spirit. Orson Welles made art-house tribute by casting her as Mistress Quickly in Chimes at Midnight (1966), the year she was made DBE, and after she had won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar in The VIPs (1963).
