Poetess, playwrightess and novelistess Madame de Villedieu (Marie-Catherine Desjardins), early advocate for the equal status of women, but as women, not as pseudo-men, died today in 1683; her tale can be found on the Ancien Régime page of "Woman-Blindness"
Amber pages
Arthur Rimbaud, French poet, born today in 1854 (see also July 10 and October 8)
Charles Ives, US composer, born today in 1874
The 49th parallel established as the border between US and Canada, today in 1818
And one of the most despicable of all the many despicable events that comprise American history, the House Un-American Activities Committee opened its hearings today in 1947, Senator Joe McCarthy in the Chair; and that is all that I intend to say here on this subject. The light, on this occasion, is stopped on red (save just that one name, which, as you can see, has been black-listed).
