Happy birthday Dolly Wilde!

Oscar Wilde's niece Dolly was born on the 11th of July 1895. She was a socialite known for her witty conversation, an ambulance driver in WWI, and the lover of writer Natalie Clifford Barney, speedboat racer Jo Carstairs, and many others.

β€œI had a chance to read a copy of The Well of Loneliness that had been translated into Polish before I was taken into the camps. I was a young girl at the time, around twelve or thirteen, and one of the ways I survived the camp was by remembering that book. I wanted to live long enough to kiss a woman.”
