German psychoanalyst Karen Horney died #OTD in 1952.
Her theories questioned some traditional Freudian views. She disagreed with Freud about inherent differences in the psychology of men and women, and like Adler, she traced such differences to society and culture rather than biology.

Her major works are: The Neurotic Personality of Our Time (1937); New Ways in Psychoanalysis (1939); Self-Analysis (1942); Our Inner Conflicts (1945).

During his visit, Dickens was giving lectures, raising the question of international copyright laws and the pirating of his work in America. He persuaded a group of 25 writers, to sign a petition for him to take to Congress, but the press were generally hostile to this, saying that he should be grateful for his popularity & that it was mercenary to complain about his work being pirated.
