Pola Stout article

Hello, just been reading this. There's an obituary for her in the New York Times, which I've cited. As her husband is notable and has an article on him, I've linked to this article from his.

One major thought - there was no such country as Poland when she was born in c. 1902 - it was divided up between Austria-Hungary, Russia and Germany. If Stry (modern Stryi) is the largest town of that name, she was born in Austria-Hungary and the town was actually only Polish (politically) for less than 30 years - it went to the USSR then the Ukraine after the war. As I'm not 100% sure what Cooper-Hewitt mean (it's a variant spelling if it is Stryi, and they seem to have got it from the NYT obituary) I've removed it.
