Name?

If she was born 'Laurense', why did she want to be known under the masculine form of that name? Valetude (talk) 17:06, 7 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

Related. [1] She is "Miss Laurence Alma-Tadema" at one of our latterday sources (Every Woman's Encyclopaedia where we cite the reprint in a blog) and "Miss Laurence Alma Tadema" in a November 1886 literary column--notice of contents in publisher T. Fisher Unwin's new Unwin's Annual [for 1887] (The Athenaeum #3083, p. 709).
[2] She is "Laurence Alma Tadema" (no hyphen) on one undated title page, catalogued as 1915. There at HathiTrust Digital Library, where she is catalogued with the hyphen ("Alma-Tadema, Laurence."), many of the digitized works appear to have been credited without the hyphen (see boldface headings). --P64 (talk) 22:10, 20 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

This says 1865-08-08 and 1940-3-12. I don't know how reliable it is, nor do I know whether the format is YMD or YDM. But it's something. -- Jack of Oz [pleasantries] 01:52, 4 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

And this says she died 12 March 1940. -- Jack of Oz [pleasantries] 01:53, 4 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
