Biography

Born in Washington, D.C., the daughter of Col. George Augustus Armes and Lucy Hamilton Kerr, Ethel was brought up in Washington, D.C. where she attended private schools. She worked as a reporter for the Chicago Chronicle in 1899 and then Washington Post during 1900–1903.[1] In 1904 she became engaged to the Japanese poet Yone Noguchi and planned to join him in Japan, but broke off the engagement under scandalous circumstances. In 1905–06 she was on the Birmingham Age-Herald and performed syndicated work for magazines and newspapers.[1] She authored a number of important historical works.

gollark: It's not like you can't learn stuff school doesn't cover, though.
gollark: I'm looking at the AQA one here, as my school seems to have arbitrarily chosen that.
gollark: I'm not sure if you get to pick them individually or if it's as a class somehow.
gollark: As well as the basic stuff the spec we're doing has "Astrophysics", "Medical physics", "Turning points in physics", "Engineering physics (re-branded Applied physics)" and "Electronics" options, it seems.
gollark: Specifically under "Turning points in physics", which is one of the six optional modules (it seems convoluted and weird).
