The couple remained together for 13 years until 1980, a crazy fan of the musician, ended the life of Lennon and ruined the story of love. Lennon's murder left Yoko Ono a widow and a boy.

Still, she always lived in the shadow of John Lennon. She is currently leading the fight against the ' Frac King ' and his son Sean is a singer. Nowadays, she is still a singer.

Explanation
"Las Sinsombrero" is the name by which we know a group of women thinkers and spanish artists belonging to "La Generación del 27", born between 1898 and 1914.
Madrid was the city where the great majority of them resided, study and developed their artistic activity.
They were important in writing, painting, sculpture, illustration or philosophy.
They were independent women with strong personality.
Moreover they were women open to new ways of modernity, commited to their time and their social reality. But their attitude was groundbreaking and open, transforming the cultural and artistic panorama.

Name´s origin: one day in Madrid in the 20s, Federico García Lorca, Salvador Dalí, Margarita Manso and Maruja Mallo walked through the "Puerta del Sol" taking off their hats. This attitude pretended to free ideas and concerns, for that reason they were stoned and called everything.
This event turned them into rebels, especially to women.

Explanation
In 1896 Mileva Maric met Albert Einstein at the Polytechnic Institute of Zurich where women were accepted, which was not usual in those days. Mileva was four years older than Einstein, but they had a lot of things in common and they were in the same grade. They started a relationship but before their marriage, Mileva got pregnant. They had a girl, called Lieserl who died of an illness shortly after the birth. Years later they got married and had two children, Hans Albert and Eduard who suffered from schizophrenia. She didn’t finish her studies because she wanted to take care of her children and support the work of her husband. In 1919 they divorced. Three years later, Einstein gave a part of the Nobel Prize money to Mileva, and she spent all this money on caring for their second son. Some people think that Mileva contributed to Einstein’s theories while others say she didn't give important help in his work. She died at the age of 72.
