- Comment: Original source claims "She became a member when eighteen years of age, being the only lady thus honored" As I cannot verify if there have been additional women honoured, claiming "first" is most appropriate (still factually correct).

New enough, long enough, neutral tone, well-sourced. QPQ done. Hooks both short enough and sourced. I prefer the original hook because it is nice and concise, though being honored at only 18 years old is fascinating too. Promoter can decide which hook to use.
