22 de enero de 1981, muere María Moliner, autora de un diccionario único, el más completo del español. Propuesta para ocupar el sillón B, fue rechazada. Declaró que si lo hubiera escrito un hombre, la gente habría dicho: “Pero, y ese hombre, ¡cómo no está en la Academia!”

shoutout to Katherine Switzer who just turned 79. In 1967 she was the first woman who ran the Boston Marathon, despite women not being allowed, and race officials trying to stop her mid race.
