Who is older, Herta Müller or H. L. Mencken
H. L. Mencken Henry Louis Mencken (September 12, 1880 – January 29, 1956) was an American journalist, satirist, cultural critic and scholar of American English. Known as the "Sage of Baltimore", he is regarded as one of the most influential American writers and prose stylists of the first half of the twentieth century. He commented widely on the social scene, literature, music, prominent politicians and contemporary movements. His satirical reporting on the Scopes trial, which he dubbed the "Monkey Trial", also gained him attention.
Emma Adler Emma Adler (née, Braun; pen names, Marion Lorm and Helene Erdmann; 20 May 1858 - 23 February 1935) was an Austrian "fin de siècle" journalist and writer. She is known for works of fiction, historical novels, translations, as well as her correspondence with Karl Kautsky. She was a socialist who, with other Jewish writers of the time, such as Hedwig Dohm, Bertha Pappenheim, and Hedwig Lachmann, "combined political activity with artistic creativity". Adler was the publisher of the "Arbeiterinnen-Zeitung".
