Zapolska Gabriela 30.3.1857 - 17.2.1921
Poljska pisateljica s pravim imenom Maria Gabriela Korwin-Piotrowska je pisala romane in drame. V Parizu je začela svojo neuspešno kariero kot igralka. Začela je pisati cenene,  razburljive romane polne strogosti proti vrednotam srednjega razreda, njihovi moralnosti in hinavščini. Od vseh teh romanov napisanih v obdobju 20 let sta omembe vredna samodva: Zaszumi las (1899) in Sezonowa milosc (1905). Od njenih dram je omembe vredna Moralnosc pani Dulskiej (1906), komedija o matriarhatu v meščanski družini.

Is pseudonym of  Maria Gabriela Korwin-Piotrowska  Polish novelist and playwright of the Naturalist school. Having tried unsuccessfully to pursue an acting career in Paris, Zapolska started writing cheap, sensationalist novels full of bitterness toward middle-class values, morality, and hypocrisy. Of her several novels written over a period of 20 years, only two have survived in terms of modern readability. Zaszumi las (1899, The Forest Will Murmur) is a roman about Polish revolutionaries in Paris. Sezonowa milosc (1905, Love in the Season) is a novel about fashionable middle-class life in the resort town of Zakopane. She also wrote plays, mostly melodramas, that had the same ephemeral quality as most of her novels, but one is remembered: Moralnosc pani Dulskiej (1906, Mrs. Dulska's Morality), a comedy-farce about a dominating matriarch of a bourgeois family.

ZERNIKE Anne 30.4.1887 - 6.3.1972
Liberalna teologinja, prva ženska duhovnica na Nizozemskem. Leta 1911 je bila imenovana za duhovnika v bapristični cerkvi v Bovenknijpe (provinca Friesland). Poročila se je s slikarjem Janom Mankes in se odpovedala službi. Po moževi leta 1920 pa ni bila več postavljena za duhovnika predvsem zaradi svoje liberalanosti in leve usmerjenosti. Vse to je izražala izražala v svojih knjigah in člankih.

Liberal theologian, first female minister of the church in the Netherlands. In 1911, she was called as minister to the Baptist community of Bovenknijpe (province of Friesland). Anne Zernike married painter Jan Mankes in Schoterland in 1915. For reasons of her marriage, she had to resign her office. After her husband’s death in 1920, Anne Mankes-Zernike was not called as minister by the Baptist Brotherhood again, much to her sadness. The image of an outspoken, radically liberal, leftist modern minister and theologian emerges from her books and many articles. For many Baptists and Remonstrants she was too liberal, and sometimes she was even too leftist-modern for the liberals and the Dutch Protestant Union. The close relationship between theology and the arts was one of her articles of faith.
