For my birthday:

3 events:
394 - Battle of the Frigidus: The Christian Roman Emperor Theodosius I defeats and kills the pagan usurper Eugenius and his Frankish magister militum Arbogast.
1870 - Louisa Ann Swain of Laramie, Wyoming becomes the first woman in the United States to cast a vote legally after 1807.
1995 - Cal Ripken Jr. breaks Lou Gehrig 's record of 2,130 consecutive Major League Baseball games played at Camden Yards in Baltimore,Maryland.

2 births:
1757 - Marquis de Lafayette, French soldier and statesman (d. 1834)
1860 - Jane Addams, American social worker, recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize (d. 1935)

1 death:
1998 - Akira Kurosawa, Japanese film director (b. 1910)

So, true baseball (or women's sufferage or Arbogast) fans should be able to tell me my birthday now. No googling!

My birthday had some feminist/women's sufferage landmarks as well.

At first I read "Theodosius I defeats and kills the pagan usueper" as "Theodosius I defeats and kills the PENGUIN usrper".
