Here are not really lions, possibly good for a top 100 list of the century: Bruno Bettelheim, Janusz Korzak, or someone else who took children seriously; Antoine de Ste Exupery, partly for the previous virtue.

Others, mixed bag:
Simone de Beauvoir seemed a good choice to me (as does FL Wright), but might be compared with Edith Stein; Bertolt Brecht might enter also, by the way, and among inventor's there should be cinematographic and aeronautical representatives, have we got some already? Hollerith for his machine - anyway Alan Turing is important, and R Goedel, maybe above Turing, both for the theory of information, science, and for mathematics.

Regards MNI.
