Individual evidence

  1. ^ Antonius Lux (ed.): Great women of world history. A thousand biographies in words and pictures . Sebastian Lux Verlag , Munich 1963, p. 342.
  2. ↑ Original titles Grand Cap (1937) and Le pain des pauvres (1937)
  3. ↑ According to DNB , this work has not been translated into German
  4. ↑ Original title: L'huile vierge. (1952) Le déjeuner sur l'herbe (1953) and Le retour aux îles (1954). The peculiar German titles with "Öl" are time-related incorrect translations. What is meant is what is now widely used in food law to mean virgin olive oil , i.e. a product from the 1st cold pressing of olives.
