Janet Frame
The fate befalling the young woman who wanted "to be a poet" has been well documented. Desperately unhappy because of family tragedies and finding herself trapped in the wrong vocation (as a schoolteacher) her only escape appeared to be in submission to society's judgement of her as abnormal. She spent four and a half years out of eight years, incarcerated in mental hospitals. The story of her almost miraculous survival of the horrors and brutalising treatment in unenlightened institutions has become well known. She continued to write throughout her troubled years, and her first book (The Lagoon and Other Stories) won a prestigious literary prize, thus convincing her doctors not to carry out a planned lobotomy.

Marisa Madieri
Marisa Madieri è stata una scrittrice italiana. In origine il cognome della famiglia paterna (fiumana, ma di origini evidentemente ungheresi) era Madjarić, poi fu modificato in Madierich e successivamente in Madieri. La famiglia, esule dall'Istria, riparò a Trieste nel 1949, e per molti mesi visse in condizioni precarie, insieme a tanti altri profughi italiani, nel campo profughi del Silos presso la stazione ferroviaria. Di questo periodo avrebbe scritto poi nel suo primo libro Verde acqua (Einaudi 1987) in cui narra dell'esodo di Fiume, dell'identità di questa città e di altri fatti legati alla sua infanzia e adolescenza, in cui la memoria è anche ricerca delle proprie radici.
