According to this article, and a Net search, she has two birth dates. I think it's most likely she was born just the once, on Feb 18, but I can't vouch for it.

I regard HGB as a very significant feminist, but I guess that's politically incorrect so far as some other feminists are concerned! I've added her to the category as I think it will help others find the article, and a stub for Sex and the Single Girl for the same reason. SATSG is a bit like A Brief History of Time and Silent Spring?, most people who say they have read it obviously haven't. And it's a shame, they're all very educational, for different reasons.

Under the "quotes" section, someone credited HGB as say "Good Girls Go To Heaven But Bad Girls Go Everywhere." This is not entirely correct. While it is a favorite quote of HBG's, she did not coin the phrase. It was originally said by actress Mae West.
