  • Mrs Hale born (24/10/1788)

    From Ross Clark@21:1/5 to All on Thu Oct 24 23:06:01 2024
    Sarah Josepha Buell Hale (1788-1879)
    "American writer, activist, and editor of the most widely circulated
    magazine in the period before the Civil War, Godey's Lady's Book." (Wiki)

    And
    "Mary had a little lamb..."
    which appears for the first time in her book _Poems for Our Children_ (1830)

    And
    _Northwood_ (1827), a novel about slavery. (She advocated repatriating
    the slaves -- well, to Liberia, anyway.)

    And
    Cookbooks! (and Household Hints) _Mrs Hale's Receipts for the Million_
    (1857)
    "Containing Four Thousand Five Hundred and Forty Five Receipts, Facts, Directions, Etc. in the Useful, Ornamental and Domestic Arts..."

    Exhausting.

    The language link seems quite insignificant by comparison.

    And

    which appears for the first time in her book _Poems for Our Children_ (1830)

    Now that’s an enduring contribution to the world.

    And
    _Northwood_ (1827), a novel about slavery. (She advocated repatriating the slaves -- well, to Liberia, anyway.)
