"Feminist" is not a factual description of Martha Carrier. "Feminism" is a 20th century ideology and movement. Attaching the word to Martha Carrier editorializes history and disservices the reader.

A bit confusing. edit

Martha Ingalls Allen was born between 1643 and 1650. She was the youngest of six siblings, and had three sisters, Mary (1644–1695), Sarah (1646–1716).

Supposedly she was the youngest, but given "born between 1643 and 1650" she was possibly second youngest or third youngest. I didn't correct this, as I'm not sure HOW it should be corrected. It's possible she was a year to six years older than Mary, a year to four years older than Sarah, or, as stated, the youngest. 151.210.113.62 (talk) 04:12, 16 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

Exactly, the paragraph doesn't make any sense. She couldn't have been the youngest unless she was born after 1661. She couldn't have even been the youngest sister and been born before 1652. 2600:1700:FE40:7E30:2028:7A17:1596:A4CB (talk) 18:51, 15 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
