It is amazing to see, that some of these very outdated politicians once looked like humans.

Recently I came up on some obituaries that were Not Found. I wonder if some raised from the dead lately?

Uhm actually-commencing:

That one about "Julie didn't get to go to university"? 1830s in the USA, and 1860s in the UK.

1872 for Sweden (Betty Pettersson, BoA in ten subjects), but with two caveats:

There never existed a formal rule in Sweden, barring women from higher studies (which is why mrs Pettersson was admitted) and women had had the recognised right to study theology and law at Swedish universities for well over a century by 1872.

But the meme hits true anyway. And it hits hard.
