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.
Kathleen Norris Kathleen Thompson Norris (July 16, 1880 – January 18, 1966) was a popular American novelist and newspaper columnist. She was one of the most widely read and highest paid female writers in the United States for nearly fifty years, from 1911 to 1959. Norris was a prolific writer who wrote 93 novels, many of which became best sellers. Her stories appeared frequently in the popular press of the day, including "Atlantic", "The American Magazine", "McClure's", "Everybody's", "Ladies' Home Journal" and "Woman's Home Companion." Norris used her fiction to promote family and moralistic values, such as the sanctity of marriage, the nobility of motherhood, and the importance of service to others.
