Let's write a small biography to celebrate the International Women's day!
Of course, you'll have to use past tenses!
Please, do not write the woman's name as the following student to write on the Blog should try to guess who that is :)

Hi, classmates:
ReplyDeleteThis women invented Liquid Paper, a quick-drying white liquid painted onto paper to correct mistakes (Tipp-Ex). She was a secretary in Texas when she hit upon her invention, which became so successful it grew into the Liquid Paper Company.
Do you know her?
Ok, I´ll try to describe someone. I think most of you will agree with me if I write that the woman I´m writing about is one of the most important women in the world. She is a person who really loves you, who gives you her life and who can forget herself for helping you.
ReplyDeleteThere are a lot of women like that and everyone has a different name
How sweet, Chari!
ReplyDeleteJusto, no idea!!! that's a difficult one!
ReplyDeleteChari. I Think this woman is my mother "Carmen".
ReplyDeleteIs it true?
Emi. I'm sorry. The woman is Bette Nesmith. We have studied her this year in my school
There was a time when women were not permitted to study at the University. This woman and and her sister joined other students at a “floating university.” The classes met at night, at changing locations to avoid detection by the police. Several years later, she discovered the chemical element which opened the door to deep changes in the way about matter and energy. She also led the way to a new era for medical knowledge and the treatment of diseases.

ReplyDeleteShe is the only one woman that became to win to nobel prize.
I've forgotten to comment about Chari's said, I think is Inma, my mother.
ReplyDeleteCan I have another chance? I'm going to try. She was widow with two children. Her husband had died in jail. He had been a liberal army officer and a strong supporter of the liberal cause. In 1831, in one of the regular searches at her house, the police discovered a flag embroidered with the words "Equality, Liberty and Law". She was immediately charged with conspiracy and placed on house arrest. She was sentenced to death. She died for liberal ideals in Granada.

This woman was a brave and fantastic person. She was small and thin but she had a brave heart.She died when I was 87 years old. She looks after people who were ill and helped poor people. She also taught reading to poor children . She won the Nobel Peace Prize and she gave this money to the poorest.
ReplyDeleteAna
Ana, you mean she died when SHE was 87 ;P
ReplyDeleteI think I know this one!
That's true. Marie Curie. What's about the second one? I think Ana M M is talking about "Teresa de Calcuta".
ReplyDeleteI think that Rafael has described to Maria Pineda.
ReplyDeleteMy biography is about a teenager. She was born on 12th June 1929, in Frankfurt. She was the second daughter of a Jewish family. She lived in the Nazi Germany. She was confined in a room a lot time with her family, there she wrote a diary about her short life. On 4th August of 1944 they were discovered and arrested by Gestapo. They were then sent on to concentration camps. All members except Otto Frank died in the camps. She died of typhus in February or March 1945. His father was given Anne’s diary that had been forgotten when the Gestapo came. The diary was first published in German in 1947.

ReplyDeleteHi everyone!
ReplyDeleteMy woman´s biography is about four sister who were Dominical political dissidents in the sixties.The father of the sisters was a successful businessman. When Trujillo came to power, their family lost almost all of their fortune.Two of the sisters were incarcerated and tortured on several occasions. After the sisters' numerous imprisonments, Trujillo decided to get rid of the sisters and he sent men to intercept three women after the women had visited their husbands in prison. The unarmed sisters were led into a sugarcane field and executed in their car which was later thrown of a mountain to make their deaths look like an accident.
Who are they?
They were the Mirabal sisters.
ReplyDeleteThree of de sisters were assassinated, and the another sister alive,Dedé Mirabal, works to tell their story.
The International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, November 25th, is the date of this terrible assassination.
