Langtry Lillie (Emilie Charlotte Langtry) 13.10.1853 - 12.2.1929
slavna igralka , po svojem rojstnem kraju znana kot Jersey Lily (lilija iz Jerseyja), se je poročila s poslancem Ianom Malcolmom. Postala je ameriška državljanka. Na obeh straneh Atlantika je bila silno priljubljena. Posebno všeč je bila Edvardu VII., ki je pogosto, ko je bil še Waleški princ, obiskoval njene predstave, kadar je igrala v Londonu. Leta 1887 je sprejela državljanstvo ZDA, kjer je očarala številne znane osebnosti: Marka Twaina, Oscarja Wildea, Theodora Roosevelta in druge.

She was born in the Old Rectory, St, Saviour, Jersey. She was nicknamed "Lillie", possibly because of the extreme whitness of her skin. She was educated at home. In 1874  she married Edward Langtry, a well-to-do young widower of Belfast. Moving to London, she became, overnight, the centre of widespread admiration and attention in high society as a result of her exceptionally good looks and vibrant personality. Certain difficulties over financial extravagance lead her to a stage career and, after a hesitant start, she made successful appearance as Kate Hardcastle in She Stoops to Conquer. She proceeded to star in many theatrical productions in Britain, USA and South Africa. She became an accomplished actress and a brilliant businesswoman with boundless enregy, drive and charm. In 1887 she became a naturalised American. Famous people (Mark Twain, Oscar Wilde, Theodore Roosevelt..) were captivated by her.

Lasker-SchÜler Else 11.2.1869 - 22.1.1945
nemška pesnica, pripadal krogu ekspresionistov, izrazito subjektivna čustvena lirika s tematiko ljubezenske strasti, pozneje izgnanske usode, revščina in staranje, tudi nadarjena risarka, ki je sama ilustrirala svoja dela. Ker je bila Judinja, je leta 1933 emigrirala v Švico, nato v Palestino, kjer je v revščini umrla. Pesniške zbirke: Styx (1902), Moji čudeži (1911), Hebrejske balade (1913) in Moj modri klavir (1912).

Of Jewish parentage, Schüler settled in Berlin after her marriage to the physician Berthold Lasker in 1894. In Berlin she frequented avant-garde literary circles, and her lyric poems and short stories began appearing in periodicals. Her second marriage (1901-11) was to Herwarth Walden, the editor of a leading Expressionist journal. Her first book, a poetry collection entitled Styx (1902), was followed by Meine Wunder (1911; "My Miracles"), Hebräische Balladen (1913; "Hebrew Ballads"), and several other volumes of lyric poetry. Her other important works are the play Die Wupper (1909), the autobiographical novel Mein Herz (1912; "My Heart"), and the short stories collected in Der Prinz von Theben (1914; "The Prince of Thebes") and Der Wunderrabbiner von Barcelona (1921; "The Wonder Rabbi of Barcelona"). She emigrated to Switzerland in 1933 after the Nazis came to power in Germany, and in 1940 she resettled in Jerusalem in Palestine. She had always led an eccentric and unpredictable life, and she spent her last years in poverty. Lasker-Schüler's poems exploit a rich vein of fantasy and symbolism and alternate between pathos and ecstasy in their intensely personal evocation of her childhood and parents, romantic passion, art, religion, and other themes. Many of her short stories reinterpret Arabian nights tales in a mode of modern fantasy that is rich with visual images. Though rich in atmosphere and symbolism, her stories tend to have a weak narrative focus and little or no plot. Lasker-Schüler's reputation as an important German lyric poet of the early 20th century is assured, however.

Lucia-Filippi sv.

Lüders Marie-Elisabeth  25.6.1878 - 23.3.1966

She is one of the outstanding German female politicians of the 20th century. Owing to her intelligence and her self-confidence, she succeeded in being admitted to the "Abitur" (school-leaving examination qualifying for university entrance) after several years of voluntary social work and subsequently studied political science. In 1912, the degree of Dr. rer. pol. was conferred on her as the first woman in Germany. In her capacity as social expert, she was entrusted with various socio-political tasks during the First World War. Before the war, she had already joined the bourgeois feminist movement and subscribed to (left-wing) liberalism. From 1919 onwards, she represented the German Democratic Party in the Reichstag. Because she was a vehement opponent of national socialism, a prohibition of publication and speech was imposed on her in 1933; this was followed by interrogations and a several months' arrest by the gestapo in 1937. After the war, she was head of the American military school in Oberammergau and from 1948 to 1950 head of the Office for Social Matters in Berlin. From 1953 to 1961, she represented the Free Democratic Party (FDP) in the Bundestag  as whose president by seniority she acted several times. As a pioneer of the emancipation of women and of many social achievements, she received high honours, among others the honorary citizenship of Berlin.

Zaradi revolucionarne aktivnosti med prvo svetovno vojno je bila v zaporu (1916 - 18), kjer je napisala Spartakovska pisma. Skupaj s Karlom Liebknechtom je 1916 ustanovila radikalno Spartakovo zvezo, iz katere ja 30.12.1918 nastala komunistična partija Nemčije. Skupaj z Liebknechtom jo je po neuspešnem uporu spartakovcev ubila nemška vojska. Njeno najpomembnejše delo je Akumulacija kapitala, kjer predstavlja svojo teorijo imperializma.

Rosa Luxemburg leading socialist theorist and founder of the German Communist party. Born into a prosperous Jewish business family in Russian, she engaged in revolutionary activity from 1887.  In 1889 she was forced into exile in Switzerland, where she helped found (1893) the antinationalist Polish Socialist party. Acquiring German citizenship by marriage, Luxemburg became a leader of the extreme left wing of the German Social Democratic party. She was active in the Second International, fighting the trend toward nationalism within the socialist movement. While in prison (1916-18) for revolutionary activity during World War I, Luxemburg wrote the so-called Spartacus Letters. With Karl Liebknecht she founded (1916) the radical Spartacus League, which, on Dec. 30, 1918, became the German Communist party. Both Liebknecht and Luxemburg were murdered by German troops after the abortive Spartacist uprising of January 1919. Luxemburg's chief work, presenting her theory of imperialism, was Accumulation of Capital (1913).
