 * ... that Alabama socialite and writer Madame Le Vert (pictured) was the only female commissioner at the 1855 Exposition Universelle in Paris?


 * Symbol confirmed.svg Looks like it all checks out to me (picture's grand too); but if I was reviewing this for GA I'd suggest removing some of the inserts (one picture and one quote box probably), so that might be something to bear in mind for the future. Should this be held for IWD or just left to run any time in Women's History Month? GRAPPLE   X  19:01, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the review. I am happy with March 8th, or any time in March, particularly March 17th (her name means "Mrs Green") or March 12th (the 135th anniversary of her death).
 * BTW, I also have an alt.hook:
 * ALT1... that Edgar Allan Poe once wrote a poem to Octavia Walton, better known as the Alabama writer Madame Le Vert (pictured), with a line that says, "But Octavia, do not strive to rob my heart..."?
