Why November Is More Fascinating Than You Think
THE NOVEMBER YOU NEVER KNEW THIS MONTH’S SURPRISING FACTS AND HISTORICAL MOMENTS
Welcome November, the hidden gem nestled between Halloween excitement and festive December! This autumn-to-winter month is packed with history and quirky facts that might just make you see these 30 days in a new light. Imagine a time when November was not the eleventh month but the ninth. That’s right! The early Roman calendar listed November as “ novem ,” the Latin word for nine. That is until January and February crashed the calendar party and pushed November further back. Speaking of which, don’t forget the ritual of turning back the clocks. This year, on Nov. 5 at 2 a.m., we bid adieu to Daylight Saving Time. Make sure to roll back your clocks an hour before you hit the bed on Nov. 4 (or let your smartphone do it for you). It’s the perfect excuse to enjoy that extra hour of sleep or indulge in a midnight snack a little longer. Rewind to Nov. 1, 1848, when the Boston Female Medical School first opened its doors to a mere 12 students. Initiated by Samuel Gregory, this all-female institute eventually merged with the Boston University School
of Medicine to become one of the first co-ed medical schools in America — a monumental stride toward gender equality in education. Fast forward to Nov. 4, 1922, a day that etched itself into the annals of history when British archaeologist Howard Carter discovered the nearly intact tomb of King Tutankhamun in Luxor, Egypt.
The treasures unearthed are now key attractions at the Grand Egyptian Museum in Cairo, captivating visitors with tales from millennia ago.
And let’s not overlook a significant moment in American history: President Abraham Lincoln’s delivery of the Gettysburg Address on Nov. 19, 1863. Despite battling a mild case of smallpox, Lincoln delivered a poignant, two-minute speech that would echo the virtues of democracy for generations to come. Curiously, while William Shakespeare created 37 plays and 154 sonnets, he never once mentioned November in his works. It appears that even the Bard couldn’t find anything rhyme-worthy about this month!
