Izumi Suzuki

Izumi Suzuki was born in 1949. After dropping out of high school she worked in a factory before finding success and infamy as a model and actress. Her acting credits include both pink films and classics of 1970s Japanese cinema. When the father of her children, the jazz musician Kaoru Abe, died of an overdose, Suzuki’s creative output went into hyperdrive and she began producing the irreverent and punky short fiction, novels and essays that ensured her reputation would outstrip and outlast that of the men she had been associated with in her early career. She took her own life in 1986, leaving behind a decade’s worth of groundbreaking and influential writing.

Mercè Mascaró

Vaig néixer a Barcelona el 1981. De petita vaig anar a Escoles Virtèlia, on vaig rebre una educació musical, la qual cosa ha fet que la música, i en especial el piano sempre hagin format part del meu dia a dia.
Vaig estudiar arquitectura a la ETSAB i l’endemà d’entregar el projecte final de carrera, em vaig matricular a patronatge a l’escola Felicidad Ducce.
Això va fer que durant uns anys compaginés les dues activitats, l’arquitectura i el disseny de moda.

Des de fa uns anys, tinc una marca de roba per encàrrec, amb uns dissenys marcats per la comoditat i la senzillesa. Sota la premissa de fer les coses amb sentit, a partir d’un mostrari, el client tria colors, llargades i acabats de les peces per produir només la roba que compra, sense esto

Imogen Binnie

Imogen Binnie wrote a monthly column for Maximum Rocknroll magazine for about nine years, as well as the zines The Fact That It's Funny Doesn't Make It A Joke and Stereotype Threat. Her novel Nevada was a thing, then it went out of print and it was less of a thing, and then it went back into print and became a thing again. She wrote for the TV shows Doubt, Council of Dads, and Cruel Summer. She also wrote an adaptation of the film "Love, Actually" which was set in Burlington, Vermont, in which all the characters were trans, but apparently it would violate "intellectual copyright law" to try to film it, so she posted it on Twitter. She also did a podcast called Imogen Watches Classic Films for a few years. She probably lives with her family

Heeft van 1967 tot 1992 'op school' gezeten: kleuterschool; lagere school; havo; vwo; agogische akademie in Leeuwarden en Nederlandse taal- en letterkunde aan de universiteit van Amsterdam.

Van 1995 tot 2002 was hij ondertitelvertaler, waarbij hij een voorkeur ontwikkelde voor natuurfilms die vrijwel allemaal in scène gezet worden: na een flink aantal documentaires zag hij regelmatig dezelfde beelden terugkomen.

Aangezien die kwarteeuw school blijkbaar nog niet voldoende was, begon hij in september 2003 een avondopleiding tot hovenier aan de Groene Campus in Alkmaar. In juli 2006 sloot hij die opleiding succesvol af en vanaf

Torborg Nedreaas

Torborg Nedreaas (1906-1987) er en av 1900-tallets fremste norske forfattere, kjent for sitt samfunnsengasjement og sin sikre stil. Hun debuterte med novellesamlingen Bak skapet står øksen i 1945. To år etter kom den første romanen, Av måneskinn gror det ingenting, som også ble hennes gjennombrudd.

Siden fulgte blant annet den prisbelønte Herdis-trilogien: Trylleglasset (1950), Musikk fra en blå brønn (1960) og Ved neste nymåne (1971). Nedreaas var viljesterk og uredd hele sitt liv. Trass i at hun aldri ga opp sine kontroversielle meninger og sin kommunisme – så seint som i 1975 ble et radiokåseri om NATO stanset av NRK – holdt hun på en livsstil der siameserkatter, sjampanje og østers var selvsagte ingredienser. Mange kjenner også Nedreaas

Mariama Bâ

Mariama Bâ (1929 – 1981) was a Senegalese author and feminist, who wrote in French. Born in Dakar, she was raised a Muslim, but at an early age came to criticise what she perceived as inequalities between the sexes resulting from [African] traditions. Raised by her traditional grandparents, she had to struggle even to gain an education, because they did not believe that girls should be taught. Bâ later married a Senegalese member of Parliament, Obèye Diop, but divorced him and was left to care for their nine children.
Her frustration with the fate of African women—as well as her ultimate acceptance of it—is expressed in her first novel, So Long a Letter. In it she depicts the sorrow and resignation of a woman who must share the mourning for
