Nadezhda Stasova (1822–1895) was an educator and one of the earliest leaders of the Russian women's movement. She was born into a noble and wealthy family; Tsar Alexander I of Russia was her godfather, and she received extensive private tutoring as a child. In adulthood, she dedicated herself to women's empowerment. Along with Anna Filosofova and Maria Trubnikova, she founded and led several organizations designed to promote women's cultural and economic independence, including a publishing cooperative. In a decades-long effort, they successfully pushed government officials to allow higher education for women, although continual opposition sometimes limited or even reversed their successes. Stasova eventually became the lead organizer of the Bestuzhev Courses for women in 1878, but a decade later was forced to resign under political pressure. She continued her work on women's issues right up until her death in 1895, mentoring and inspiring younger feminists.( Full article...)

Famous Blues musician Stevie Ray Vaughan died in a tragic plane crash on August 27, 1990. Since the Wikipedia Selected anniversaries section on the main page has observed the anniversaries of the deaths of other prominent musicians like Elvis Presley and Aaliyah, do you think that we could includes the anniversary of Stevie's death too?

whose Ave Maria ... Virgo serena opened the first music printed with movable typefrom your proposed blurb, or replaced it with another, cited fact from the article. I think this would probably be a case of WP:IAR, though – OTD blurbs are usually more substantive than a simple birth/death. Beethoven's 250th, for example, was only commemorated with a mention in the OTD births/deaths line on the anniversary of his baptism. — RAVENPVFF · talk · 03:14, 26 August 2021 (UTC)
