Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: February 24, 1942 (Encyclopædia Britannica Online; The Fine Art Archive; Integrated Authority File; Internet Philosophy Ontology project) or in 1941 (Third World Women's Literatures).
The main date retains its own sources. These alternatives overlap neither all other statements nor the main date. Rank is Wikidata editorial priority, not proof.
