Alice Meynell born (11/10/1867)

British poet, editor, essayist, suffragist.
"She was considered for the position of Poet Laureate of the United Kingdom twice, first in 1892 on the death of Alfred, Lord Tennyson, and later in 1913 on the death of Alfred Austin, but was never appointed to the position." (Wiki)
A 1921 essay "The Second Person Singular" expresses regret at the loss of _thou_ and _-est_ in English, leading to "the monotony of 'you'".
