Somewhere between nightfall on November 27 and dawn on the 28th, so I am placing her here, and she has to be on her birth-date, whichever it was, because this is the tale of a woman born in prison to a criminal father, who ended up as... queen of France! Françoise d'Aubigné, also known as Madame (Marquise) de Maintenon. Her tale can be found on the Ancien Régime page of "Woman-Blindness"
Amber pages
Anders Celsius, Swedish inventor of the centigrade thermometer, born today in 1701. Or 3093.8, I guess, in Fahrenheit. He's on May 14.
Cornelius Vanderbilt, philanthropist, born today in 1843; and see my derogatory comment about wealthy philanthropists on November 26!. Railroads and shipping in his case. Dagny Taggart versus John Galt!
Chaim Weizmann, modern Israel's first President, born today in 1874
