The American feminist memoirist mentioned in the January 1896 number of Donahoe's Magazine was born on what date?
Donahoe's Magazine Donahoe's Magazine was a United-States-based Catholic-oriented general interest magazine that ran from about 1878 to July 1908, when it was absorbed by the "Catholic World" of New York. It had been founded by Patrick Donahoe, one-time editor of the "New York Pilot". It has recently attracted attention as containing possibly the first literary mention of Mary MacLane, the American feminist memoirist, in the January 1896 number.
Frances Swiney Rosa Frances Emily Swiney, "née" Biggs, (21 April 1847 – 3 May 1922) was an early British feminist and writer. She was born in Poona, India, but spent most of her childhood in Ireland. In 1871 she married Major John Swiney (1832–1918), and devoted herself to becoming a full-time wife and mother. Swiney relocated to Cheltenham, Gloucestershire in 1877, a place she described later in her life as "the town of no ideals", where her husband joined her ten years later.
