Биография

Aale Tynni is still the only woman to have won a gold medal at the Olympic Art Competitions. She was awarded the medal for her work Hellaan laakeri (Laurel of Hellas) in 1948 in the category Literature, Lyric Works. She studied in Helsinki, but travelled frequently to France and Italy until the onset of World War II. In 1940 Tynni first married church historian Kauko Pirinen, then later poet Martti Haavio. Her son Matti Antero Pirinen also became a poet. She became best-known as a translator of the Ibsen work Brand, and European poetry ranging from the Middle Ages, but also for her own poetries. In 1982 she was the first woman who was admitted to the Finnish Academy.
