What is recorded here
Sixty Dame Street in Dublin was the birthplace of Sydney Owenson, the novelist who would become Lady Morgan. She spent her earliest years there with her mother Jane and sister Olivia before tragedy struck the household. The house stands as the starting point for a woman who deceived everyone about her own age and rewrote the rules of literature.
