Twenty Questions Game 479

[BunnyGo]

Primarily famous for arts?

Was she any of the following, but not ALL of the following?

1) born within the borders of USA at the time
2) A native English speaker
3) Died unwed

I think you might have played in this game before, but if not, welcome!

Hi Bunny!

Hi Sparta!

[miminena]

Primarily famous for arts?

Yes, using the same definition that Spartaculous used 2 games ago

Can you or someone else elaborate on that definition?

Basically, if there is a reasonable definition of 'art' that you could use to describe this, it's still eligible as a source of fame. I will give the free information that this person is almost certainly not known as an artist.

I don’t think I have. Mimi offered me a fair trade to try.

welcome to the game thanks for playing :D

[BunnyGo]

Is the writing she’s known for primarily fiction?

[miminena]

Is the writing she’s known for primarily fiction?

No

[Aristocrat]

That’s 19 if the summaries are correct

[miminena]

That’s 19 if the summaries are correct

in that case i'll clarify this person's primary source of fame: some form of non-fiction writing is definitely a major aspect of it, but there is an overarching source of fame that is what more people would say if you were to ask.

[BunnyGo]

I’m wondering if we should ask 20 as something like:

Is her primary fame:

Political
Suffragette
Legal
Activism


Other possibilities:

Science
News
Military
Academic
Performative
Marriage (husband fame)
Other?

[Hominidae]

My guess is this person is some sort of scientist, historian, or other academic. No idea who though.

[BunnyGo]

We also have “primarily famous for arts”

[BunnyGo]

My guess is this person is some sort of scientist, historian, or other academic. No idea who though.

I was thinking Florence Allen or some other western born woman prior to being part of USA who had more freedoms legally

I also thought about religion as a possibility. A name that came to mind was Mary Baker Eddy (founder of Christian Science), but it looks like New Hampshire was ruled out as a birthplace.

[BunnyGo]

The writing could be autobiographical too

[BunnyGo]

Josephine Baker is really close but died just a few months of within 50 years ago

[Ernst_Brenner]

Amelia Earhart

[Ernst_Brenner]

Oh, I'll withdraw my guess in that case.

[BunnyGo]

Amelia Earhart

Solid guess. Did she ever marry? I was pondering Jamis Joplin if her song writings count, but I don’t think she married.

What case?

[Spartaculous]

Amelia Earhart

Someone known for writing lyrics is intriguing, but Janis Joplin I don't think was born at the right time.

I found some Pennsylvanians, but forgot that Pennsylvania voted for Kerry (even though that's where I was living in 2004). Anyways, I once drove on Ida B. Wells Drive in Chicago, so I will guess her.

Ida B. Wells is correct!

Thanks Mimi! And thanks too to Bunny - your suggestion to think about suffragists pointed me in the right direction.
