Verified that the article is long enough, that there are no plagiarism concerns through the Copyvios tool and spotchecking, and that the hook is sourced in the article. Cunard (talk) 12:12, 16 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Big gaps[edit]

The entire text of this article is "Background", but it contains nothing about the subject's family of origin, education, etc. Nor does it mention her marriage (presumed, as she changed her surname and had at least one child), or later life (the last 40+ years). The only mention of her death is in the infobox, which gives the date and state (only). Surely there is more information out there than this. --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 13:03, 2 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
