Benjamin Franklin
本杰明·富蘭克林(Benjamin Franklin)
The founding father used a number of pseudonyms to publish opinionated newspaper pieces: “Silence Dogood” to critique hypocrisy and hoopskirts; “Polly Baker” to argue for women’s rights; “Anthony Afterwit” to detail the tribulations of marriage. Franklin’s most famous alter ego, “Richard Saunders,” authored the popular “Poor Richard’s Almanack” for 25 years.
這位美國的建國先賢用一系列筆名在報紙上發表剛愎自用的文章:《不切實際的寧靜》批評偽善和帶裙撐的長裙;《波利·貝克爾》主張婦女權利;《事后聰明的安東尼》描述婚姻中的痛苦。富蘭克林最有名的一個變化人格名叫“查理·桑德斯”(Richard Saunders),他撰寫廣受歡迎的《窮查理年鑒》(Poor Richard’sAlmanack)長達25年。
