Incompatible birth dates

Sources disagree: January 16, 1890 (BnF authorities; SNAC; A historical dictionary of British women) or in 1893 (Catalog of the German National Library).

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.
