EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the esteemed American chemist, peace activist, and writer Linus Pauling alongside his wife, Ava Helen Pauling. The couple's dedication to human rights and international peace shines through in this image from the 1970s.
Linus Carl Pauling, a two-time Nobel Prize winner for Chemistry in 1954 and Peace in 1962, is known for his groundbreaking contributions to science as well as his tireless advocacy for global harmony. His wife, Ava Helen Pauling, was equally passionate about social justice issues such as women's rights and racial equality.
The bond between Linus and Ava is palpable in this snapshot of them together by the sea. Linus sports a beret and glasses while Ava exudes grace and strength beside him. Their marriage in 1923 marked the beginning of a partnership dedicated to making the world a better place for all.
As we reflect on their legacy today, let us be inspired by the example set by Linus and Ava Pauling. May their commitment to education, activism, and love continue to inspire future generations to strive for a more just and peaceful world.
