Izabela Textorisová
Izabela Textorisová (16 March 1866, Ratková – 12 September 1949, Krupina) was Slovakia's first female botanist. Her copious herbarium, stored at the Comenius University, Faculty of Natural Sciences, Faculty of Natural Sciences of Comenius University in Bratislava, is a valuable resource for botanists to this day. She described more than a hundred new plants in the Turiec region. In 1893, she discovered a new species of thistle, later named ''Carduus textorisianus'' Marg. in her honor. A main-belt asteroid, discovered in 2000 by Peter Kušnirák, was also named in her honor. In 2018, a documentary film about Textorisová's life, titled ''Rande s Belkou'', was produced by Center of Scientific and Technical Information of the Slovak Republic, CSTISR and broadcast by Radio and Television of Slovakia, RTVS in 2020.
