December 30, 1906

Angela Burdett-Coutts died on December 30, 1906. She was one of the wealthiest women in England during the 19th century---she inherited massive fortunes from both her parents. With that much money she could do what she wanted, and that was not to marry the myriad men who pursued her. Until that is, she was in her sixties, and then she married her librarian, much younger than she. And cats--yes--she donated gold medals to the winners of the first cat shows in the world.
