Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: November 17, 1878 (biografiA: Lexikon österreichischer Frauen; birth registry of the Jewish Community of Vienna; baptism registry of the Lutheran City Church of Vienna) or November 7, 1878 (The Fine Art Archive Db; SNAC; Frauen in Bewegung 1848–1938; BnF authorities; KALLIOPE Austria; Croatian Encyclopedia; Pioneers of Science and Technology; Brockhaus Enzyklopädie; Great Norwegian Encyclopedia; Dictionary of Swedish National Biography; Integrated Authority File; Munzinger Personen).
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.
