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
Martha Coston married Benjamin Franklin Coston a promising inventor, at age 19 he was supervisor of a pyrotechnic laboratory, excessive exposure to unprotected chemicals caused a rapid deterioration of his health he died at age 26.
Martha Coston faced her widowhood in charge of four children at age 21, two years later her mother and two of her children died.
Martha Coston found herself without money to support her family and decided to develop an invention that her husband had not managed to complete until he got the patent. The idea was to create a flare that, when exploding, spilled several colors to communicate different messages through combinations of light signals.
She is a shadow figure because the project she did with her husband's idea was signed in the name of her deceased husband because at that time they did not let the women sign their name, only the men could sign. When that law disappeared, the honors went to Martha Coston but at that time she was very old.
