Irène Joliot-Curie
She was named one of that year's outstanding women by "The New York Sun"; she was the only Canadian named to the list, alongside figures such as Wallis Simpson, Florence Prag Kahn, Irène Joliot-Curie, Cécile Brunschvicg, Sally Salminen, Ruth Bryan Owen and Mary Ritter Beard. She disliked being included in the same list as Simpson, but otherwise took the honour in good spirits.
