María Moliner
María Moliner was a pioneering Spanish lexicographer and librarian, best known for her monumental work, the 'Diccionario de uso del español,' which she meticulously compiled over 16 years and published in 1966. Her dictionary not only provided a comprehensive resource for the Spanish language but also offered innovative definitions that challenged the norms of academic language. Despite facing significant gender-based obstacles in her career, Moliner's contributions to Spanish linguistics and her defiance against the male-dominated literary establishment have cemented her legacy as an essential figure in Spain's cultural history.
Born on Dec 30, 1900 (124 years old)
