#OnThisDay in 1912, double Pulitzer Prize winning historian Barbara Tuchman was born in NYC. A popular - rather than academic - historian, Tuchman was a champion of narrative nonfiction and called herself a creative writer. She wrote her first book while raising her children following WW2, and published a book every 4 years after that. In 1979 she became the first female president of the American Academy of Arts and Letters. #HistoryGetsLIT
