JAREMA Maria 24.11.1908 - 1.11.1958
poljska slikarka

Polish sculptor and painter. She studied at the Academy of Fine Arts, Kraków. She was a member of the radical left-wing Krakow Group. Although during the 1930s sculpture was her main medium, only four early works survived World War II, among them a non-figurative, architectural tombstone, a monument to Kraków workers killed in riots in 1936. In Nude (1938) the forms are simple and almost abstract. In her paintings this same simplicity of forms and motifs turns into richness of texture and compositional structure. Until World War II Jarema also acted, and she designed costumes for the painters’ experimental theatre Cricot. Difficulties during the War forced her to abandon sculpture, and she later returned to it only occasionally.

Pilotski izpit je dobila leta 1928. Je prva Angležinja z izpitom za letališko tehnično osebje. 5. maja 1930 se je odpravila na svoj samostojni let do Darwina. Čeprav je rekord zgrešila za tri dni, je zaradi svojega poguma in drznosti postala v angleško govorečih deželah slavna. Tisk jo je oklical za "Zračno kraljico". Kasneje je izvedla še številne dolge polete. Leta 1931 je izvedla rekordni polet preko Sibirije v Tokio, leta 1932 pa samostojni polet v Cape Town. Od leta 1939 je delala za Air Transport Auxiliary. Po izbruhu 2. svetovne vojne se je pridružila pomožnim transportnim enotam britanskega letalstva na enem od poletov izginila nekje na področju ustja Temze.

She is pioneering female aviator who first achieved fame as a result of her attempt to set a record for solo flight from London to Darwinn, Australia. Johnson graduated from the University of Sheffield and began work as a secretary in London. She gained her pilot`s licence in 1928, and she was also the first British woman granted a ground engineer`s licence. On 5.5.1930 she set off on her solo flight to Darwin. Eventually missing the record by three days, she nevertheless gained great popularity in the Englih- speaking world for her spirit and daring. She was dubbed "Queen of the Air" by the British press. Thereafter Johnson made a number of longdistance flights, in 1931 she set a record for her flight across Siberia to Tokyo, and in 1932 she broke the record for solo flight to Cape Town. Her later achievements were less remarkable. She joined the Air Transport Auxiliary in 1939.

Joliot-Curie Irene 12.9.1897 - 17.3.1956
je hči Pierra Curie in Marie Curie. Bila je sodelavka svoje matere in 1925 doktorirala z razpravo o alfa sevanju polonija. Od 1928 je skupaj z možem Jeanom Fredericom Joliotom proučevala atomska jedra. Z obstreljevanjem atomov sta dosegla spremembo atomskih jeder in tako odkrila možnost nastajanja novih umetnih elementov. S svojimi dognanji sta omogočila kasnejšo uporabo radioaktivnih izotopov v medicini. Za odkritje umetne radioaktivnosti je skupaj z možem 1935 prejela Nobelovo nagrado za kemijo. Umrla je za levkemijo, za katero je, tako kot mati, zbolela zaradi radioaktivnega sevanja.

The French physicists Jean Frederic Joliot and Irene Curie are known for their pioneering work in radioactivity and nuclear science. They adopted the name Joliot-Curie when they were married in 1926. Irene was the daughter of Marie Curie and Pierre Curie, the discoverers of radium. She began her career as an assistant at the Radium Institute of the Sorbonne in Paris, where she studied the ejection of alpha rays from polonium. There she met and married Frederic, who later received (1930) his doctorate from the University of Paris. Working together, the two scientists obtained results that were instrumental in the discovery (1932) of the neutron by the English physicist James Chadwick. Continuing their work with the alpha particles emitted by plutonium, they discovered (1934) that the irradiation of aluminum by these particles produces a new, unstable isotope of phosphorus. For this first instance of artificial radioactivity, the Joliot-Curies were awarded the 1935 Nobel Prize for chemistry.
