Cat Stevens

(1948-)

Who Is Cat Stevens?

Cat Stevens' parents ran a restaurant where he learned to play the piano as a child. At age 18, he signed with Decca Records and released his first album, and his 1970 single "Wild World" made him a star.

Early Life

Cat Stevens was born Stephen Demetre Georgiou on July 21, 1948, in London, England as the youngest of three children. His parents, Greek Cypriot father Stavros Georgiou and Swedish Baptist mother Ingrid Wickman, were restaurateurs; together, they ran the Moulin Rouge on Shaftsbury Avenue. Young Stevens and his siblings often pitched in and waited tables.

The family lived in a small apartment over the restaurant — the place where Stevens first learned to play the piano — and the glitz, glamour and the nearby theatre presence of the West End was a strong influence on the young musician.

Women Vote After 19th Amendment Passed

Early Life, Education and Activism

Catt was born the middle child of three on January 9, 1859, in Ripon, Wisconsin, and grew up on a farm. She was taught to read by her educated mother and attended a one-room schoolhouse after her family moved to a new farm near Charles City, Iowa, following the Civil War, when Catt was 7.

Her parents, Maria Clinton and Lucius Lane, supported reform candidate Horace Greeley in the 1872 presidential election, and Catt’s interest in the women’s rights cause was sparked when she questioned why her mother was unable to cast her own vote.

“It was fate, not a career that took me in charge,” Catt reportedly said. “I could never forget that rank injustice to my mother. I verily believe I was born a suffragist.”

Catt attended the Iowa Agricultural College and Model Farm (now Iowa State University), graduating in 1880 with a Bachelor of Science degree in general science—the sole woman in her class. While there, she honed her public speaking skills by participating in debate and literary clubs. &

The Black Cat (short story)

Short story by Edgar Allan Poe

"The Black Cat" is a short story by the American writer Edgar Allan Poe. It was first published in the August 19, 1843, edition of The Saturday Evening Post. In the story, an unnamed narrator has a strong affection for pets until he perversely turns to abusing them. His favorite, a pet black cat, bites him one night and the narrator punishes it by cutting its eye out and then hanging it from a tree. The home burns down but one remaining wall shows a burned outline of a cat hanging from a noose. He soon finds another black cat, similar to the first except for a white mark on its chest, but he develops a hatred for it as well. He attempts to kill the cat with an axe but his wife stops him; instead, the narrator murders his wife. He conceals the body behind a brick wall in his basement. The police soon come and, after the narrator's tapping on the wall is met with a shrieking sound, they find not only the wife's corpse but also the black cat that had been accidentally walled in with the body and alerted them with its
