Its a new GA and long enough and reffed enough for DYK. It is neutral including positive and negative aspects of her views. No image is offered but several are available. The hook is hooky enough although others may get more clicks. For instance she argued that women were persons (obvs), but her eugenics views didnt allow everyone to be included in equal rights. I couldn't see the offline hook ref but it looks reliable enough. Complies with DYK requirements, thanks Irene, so good to go. Victuallers (talk) 14:26, 19 June 2022 (UTC) P.S. Actually I found that both hooks have on line refs. Earwig found some similarities although never a whole sentence. I'm OK with that but worth looking at for the next one.
