Tailleferre Germanie 19.4.1892 - 17.11.1983

The French composer Germaine Tailleferre combined innovative musical technique with admiration of the 18th-century French masters to create music that is characterized by innocence, freshness, and spontaneity. Her brilliant studies at the Paris Conservatory surpassed those of such luminous classmates as Darius Milhaud, George Auric, and Arthur Honegger who, along with Louis Durey, Francis Poulenc, and Tailleferre, formed the group known as Les Six. Although bound together more by friendship than by musical activities, Les Six shared a rebellion against French Wagnerianism and impressionism. Notable among Tailleferre's oeuvre, which spanned more than 80 years and included instrumental, vocal, and stage music, are the early Violin Sonata no. 1 (1924), Piano Concerto no. 2 (1924), and the orchestral Ouverture (1932). Among her later works are Four Pieces (1973) and Concerto de la Fidelite (1982).

Tereškova Valentina 6.3.1937 -

The Soviet cosmonaut Valentina Vladimirovna Nikolayeva Tereshkova,  was the first woman in space (see space exploration). She was a textile-factory assembly worker and amateur parachutist at the time she was recruited (1961) into a special cosmonaut program under the direction of Soviet premier Nikita Khrushchev. Four women were trained to make a one-time woman-in-space flight, after which the program was to be disbanded. Tereshkova received a commission in the Soviet Air Force and took part in an 18-month orientation program before being selected as the prime pilot for the flight of Vostok 6. She was launched on June 16, 1963, and spent nearly three days in space at the same time as cosmonaut Valery Bykovsky in Vostok 5 (the spaceships were in separate orbits). Tereshkova, whose space radio call sign was Chaika (seagull), was an effective goodwill ambassador on the world tours that followed her flight. On Nov. 3, 1963, she married cosmonaut Andrian Nikolayev. Their first child, a daughter named Yelena Andrianovna Nikolayeva, b. June 8, 1964, was a subject of medical interest because of the exposure to space of both her parents. The couple later divorced. Tereshkova subsequently became involved in political organizations and for a while served in the Soviet parliament.

Tereza mati - Teresa mother  27.8.1910 - 5.9.1997
je bila katoliška redovnica in indijska dobrotnica albanskega rodu. Ustanovila je ženski redovniški red misijonark ljubezni, ki se posveča revnim, predvsem najrevnejšim v Indiji. Leta 1979 je prejela Nobelovo nagrado za mir. Kot Agnes Gonxa Bojaxhiu se je rodila albanskemu trgovcu z zelenjavo. Leta 1928 se je na Irskem pridružila redu Blažene device Marije. Vendar je že kmalu odpotovala v Indijo. Tu je v Kalkuti začele pomagati najrevnejšim. Lata 1948 je ustanovila svoj red, ki je kmalu pritegnil veliko sočutnih pomočnic, ki so delal v zdravniških ambulantah in šolah na prostem. Dobila je indijsko državljanstvo. Lata 1950 je papež Pij XII red uradno posvetil, leta 1965 pa ga je papež Pavel VI podredil neposredno svetemu sedežu. Red ima po vsem svetu več kot 200 središč (samo v Kalkuti 60)  v katerih pomagajo najsiromašnejšim.

Internationally respected for her work to relieve the sufferings of the poor and dying, Mother Teresa of Calcutta, was awarded the 1979 Nobel Peace Prize. An Albanian originally named Agnes Gonxha Bejaxhiu, she entered the order of the Sisters of Our Lady of Loreto at the age of 18. She taught in the order's school in Calcutta until 1946, when she experienced what she described as a "call within a call" to aid the desperately poor of India in a way that required she leave her convent. She received permission from Rome to do this and began her work by bringing dying persons from the streets into a home where they could die in peace and dignity. She also established an orphanage. Gradually other women joined her, and in 1950 she received official approval for a congregation of sisters, the Missionaries of Charity, whose members are dedicated to serving the poorest of the poor. The community at present includes about 3,000 sisters of various nationalities who work on five continents. In April 1990 she sent a letter of resignation to Pope John Paul II, saying that her health no longer allowed her to continue. She had had a heart attack in September 1989, and was no longer able to visit the order's homes, located in 87 countries.

Textorisova Izabela 16.3.1866 - 12.9.1949
Izabela Textorisová  po poklicu poštna delavka, je bila prva botaničarka na Slovaškem. Sama se je naučila številnih jezikov, zanimala se je za rastline, minerale in jamarstvo. Bila je priznana botaničarka, posebno za  floro iz Turieca. Zbirala in klasificirala je rastline, zamenjavala primerke s številnimi strokovnjaki. Leta 1913 je objavila svoja raziskovanja v botaničnem časopisu. V njem je opisala več kot sto rastlin iz Turiec, ki do tedaj sploh niso bile znane.

Izabela Textorisová  a postal worker by profession, was Slovakia's first female botanist. Her formal education ended with the sixth class of elementary school in 1877, after which she was purely self-taught. In 1886 she passed an examination, in Revúca, for a position with the postal service and went to work at newly established offices in Blatnica, where she remained for the rest of her life. So profound was her thirst for education that, in addition to holding down a demanding job and looking after her parents and three sisters (and despite all the prejudices of the time against the work of women), she learned a number of languages and applied herself vigorously to the study of plants, minerals and speleology. In botany she became a renowned and acknowledged expert, particularly in the flora of Turiec. She collected and classified plants, and exchanged specimens with many leading authorities. Her copious herbarium, now deposited with the botany department of Comenius University in Bratislava, is still today, as in the past, a source for botanists of the highest rank. In 1913 she published the results of her work in the journal Botanikai Kozeményiek under the title Flora Data from the County of Turiec, setting out more than a hundred plants whose presence in Turiec had previously passed unrecorded. The distinguished Hungarian botanist Margittai named a new species of thistle, which she discovered in 1893, in her honour: Carduus textorisianus Marg.

She held several ministerial appointments including education minister (1970-74). Elected leader of her Party (the Opposition) in 1975, she became prime minister in 1979. Known as a strong leader and an "astute Parliamentary tactician, she knew how to handle disagreement, no matter from which bench it issued. In 1982 she ordered British troops to the Falkland Islands to retake them from Argentina. She took a strong stand against the trade unions during the miner's strike (1984-85), and moved Britain toward privatization, selling minor interests in public utilities to the business interests. She also introduced "rate capping" which effectively took control of expenditures out of the hands of city councils, part of her policies aimed at reducing the influence of local governments. In 1989, she introduced a community poll tax. In 1990, her cabinet was divided over issues including the European Community which forced her resignation. In 1992, she entered the House of Lords, created Baroness Thatcher of Kesteven.

TERESA Avilska sv. - Teresa of Avila st. 28.3.1515 - 4.10.1582

Saint Teresa of Avila,  was a Spanish Carmelite and mystic who was declared a doctor of the church in 1970. The daughter of a noble Spanish family, she was originally named Teresa de Cespeda y Ahumada. In 1535 she entered the Carmelite monastery of the Incarnation at Avila. After a serious illness and a prolonged period of spiritual apathy Teresa experienced (1555) a spiritual reawakening that convinced her of the need for strict observance of the austere Carmelite rule. Despite strong opposition, she succeeded (1562) in opening the Convent of Saint Joseph in Avila, the first of the reformed Carmelite houses. Until her death she led the way in reforming both the male and female branches of the Carmelite order. Along with Saint John of the Cross, she is considered the founder of the Discalced ("shoeless") Carmelites. Teresa wrote many works, among which are some of the greatest classics of mystical literature. A mystic of great stature who achieved the rare state of union referred to as mystical marriage, she wrote advice and direction for others, especially her nuns, with unusual beauty and equally unusual practical wisdom. She is considered an authority on spirituality in the Western world, and her writings are read and studied today as much as ever. Teresa's best-known works are The Way of Perfection (1583), The Interior Castle (1588), The Book of Foundations (1610), and Her Life (1611). Feast day: Oct. 15.
