Just one idea shows us her totaly 'fighting kind': there’s no such thing like begging rights: we have to conquer them. This was her way of life. She was Julieta Lantieri, born in 1873 in Cuneo – an Italian area in Piedmont. At her 6 years old her whole family immigrates to Argentina. In 1886, Julieta began to study at Colegio Provincial (before known as Colegio Nacional Rafael Hernández) in La Plata -- main city in Buenos Aires. Julieta was the first woman in such a school and later on the first one to study Medicine Science (but at the public university in Buenos Aires). By 1911, the Buenos Aires Town Hall called for legislative elections and Julieta realized since gender was not specified she was able to vote... This bold attitude turned her in the very first woman who votes not only in Argentina but in Latin America! This really special lady was the sixth woman working as a GP in Argentina, specialized in mental disorders in children and women. Rights of both groups were simply her never-ending fight. In this direction, she creates the First Association for College Women and integrates the Socialist Party with the well known Alicia Moreau de Justo. Lately, she also creates the first feminist party in Argentina and run for national congress woman. Her amazing bravery and her popular causes wasn’t nice for the conservative army people and when these made the coup d'etat against the constitutional government of Hipólito Yrigoyen, Julieta died in a car accident. This sad event was highly suspected in those days as politically motivated. She always said: My deeds are an affirmation of my conscience and I am just doing my duty.

I want to be cool. Just like this lady...

Absurda zanahoria. 

El bambú japonés se siembra, se abona, y luego se debe regar constantemente. Durante los primeros siete años no sucede nada visible, tanto es así que cualquiera cultivador inexperto se convencería de haber comprado semillas infértiles...

Durante el séptimo año, en sólo seis semanas la planta de bambú crece más de 30 metros. Y por supuesto que no tardó seis semanas en crecer, sino siete años y seis semanas (tal vez, en lugar de crecer, tardó ese tiempo en desarrollarse), porque en los primeros siete años, estaba generando un complejo sistema de raíces que permitirán sostener ese crecimiento exponencial que va a tener en seis semanas.

In the 1850s she worked in a hospital for wounded soldiers in the Crimea (now Ukraine) – then there was a war during from 1850 to 1853. People say she never slept but spent all her time helping the men. The soldiers called her ‘The Lady of the Lamp’ because of the lamp she always carried as she walked around at night through the wounded. When she returned to England, she began a school of nursing in London. This great lady died in 1910.

1. Not many people know about Marie Curie’s activities during the Worl War One. The grateful woman went to battlefield with her daughter Irene (later well known as the author of her mother’s biography) to set up an X-ray able to be carried around and get precise diagnosis of wound soldiers (she got the money from wealthy French families, universities and automobile factories).  In 1914 went in the first ambulance, only equipped with X-ray equipment motorized by a horsepower. Full of enthusiasm Mary learned anatomy, took radiology samples and even drove their vehicle! They say the very first soldier who got into the ambulance had bullets in his head, arm and hips. After took care, Mary diagnosed another 29 French privates just in one night and more than a million during two years, the whole time that this French Army service lasted). Mary Curie – or better: Marya Sklodowska, was born in November the 7^th of 1867 in Warsaw and passed away in July the 4^th of 1934.
2. Rachel was born in a small town in Pennsylvania, in 1907. She was brought up in a small farm and seems there became really interested in nature (she usually write poems about her animals – how sweet from a little girl!). When she reached 18 years old, left her family home and went to study zoology at the Pennsylvania College for Women. She graduated in 1929 and then study at the John Hopkins University in Baltimore. For many, many years she worked as a biologist. She had no doubt at all about people, animals and plants are all linked and her books were fundamental to many people to understand the importance of environment for every one of us. Nowadays, they call her ‘The Mother of the Environmental Movement’.
