Happy Birthday, Lynn! May your celebration be as revolutionary and memorable as the French Revolution itself—minus all that pesky guillotine business. Your groundbreaking insights into gender history and human rights have inspired countless students at UCLA to rethink history (and occasionally panic before finals).From unraveling complexities of eighteenth-century France to championing human dignity through historical scholarship, you've truly made history come alive in lecture halls—and probably haunted a few undergraduates' dreams along the way. Here's wishing you another year filled with brilliant discoveries, enthusiastic debates, and perhaps fewer essays to grade. Cheers to many more revolutions around the sun!
