A woman in the 20th century penned the song most sung in history (probably) -- "Happy Birthday to You". :')

Historical Hotties Club...most excellent. I guess Eve, Delilah, Helen of Troy and Cleopatra would qualify. Any other suggestions?

actually, there is a strong belief that Cleopatra wasn't very attractive, just that she had power, and was verrrrry good at things she did as well. Which is hot.
To: Hegewisch Dupa
Yes...I had read that a few years ago about Cleo, but she obviously had something going on for herself. And I agree: You don't have to be gorgeous to be hot (although it doesn't hurt).

Dunno about Cleopatra...as I recall, her beauty was on the inside...
And heretofore I've only had men in the group, like Vincenzo Bellini, Alexander Hamilton, Stephen Crane and Voltaire.

Just to let you know, there are a few 225th anniversary events happening now.
Will be a Gunston Hall, home of George Mason this weekend commemorating the British naval landing party that sacked Gunston Hall spring of 1781. Petersburg next month, Greenspring in July and of course the biggie in October - Williamsburg under marshall law by George Washington and the march to Yorktown for the 225th Surrender on Surrender Field. If anyone can make these events, I guarrantee you will enjoy them.
