Phyllis Kaberry was born in 1910 in California to English parents. Soon after, her family moved to Sydney, Australia where she grew up. Kaberry went to school at Sydney University which was the only university at the time that offered a full course in Anthropology. She graduated in 1933 with a BA degree, and in 1935 she graduated with an MA.
Kaberry moved on to work in the Cameroons in West Africa for the Colonial Social Science Research Council in the mid 1940's. This is where she did some of her most important and memorable work. She studied a culture called the Nso, and here she also focused on the position of women. She became highly regarded among the Nso and was even celebrated as Yaa Woo Kov (Lady of the Forest) and Queen Mother. From the study of these women, she published a book in 1952 entitled Women of the Grassfields.
Kaberry's writings explain the control and exercise that women have within the domestic setting. Kaberry also thought that women were as equally important as men.

Hungarian-born film director and producer. He was a leading figure in the British film industry and the founder of London Films. His films were lavish and (after the advent of colour) visually striking. They included The Private Life of Henry VIII (1933), nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture, and Rembrandt (1936), both of which starred Charles Laughton, who was also to have appeared in the ill-fated I, Claudius (1937). In 1942, Korda became the first film director ever to be knighted.
Trained as a painter in Hungary. Most often associated with his brothers Alexander and Zoltán Korda, he became famous in his own right as designer of such London Films productions as The Private Life of Henry VIII (d. Alexander Korda, 1933), and the solidly evoked world of Rembrandt (d. Alexander Korda, 1936). As distinct from these period or fanciful achievements, he scored a major success with his production design for The Third Man (d. Carol Reed, 1949) colludes unforgettably with Robert Krasker's camera to recreate the ruined, melancholy beauty of postwar Vienna.
Damodar Dharmananda Kosambi (July 31, 1907-June 29, 1966) was an Indian mathematician, statistician, and Sanskritist who contributed in genetics by introducing Kosambi's map function.

He was critical of Nehruvian policies which grounded capitalism in the guise of democratic socialism, and was an enthusiast of the Chinese revolution and its communistic ideals. He was a leading activist in the World Peace Movement.
Physicist and author associated with the Manhattan Project. As part of that, he was nearly killed in an accident at the Philadelphia Naval Yard where a prototype diffusion isotope separation device was being constructed.
