认识Elizabeth Magie:发明垄断的女人
如果没有在1973年对帕克兄弟提起诉讼,那么垄断的真正发明者可能从未被揭露过。最初,据说游戏的创造者是查尔斯达罗,一个在1935年向百悦兄弟出售游戏的人。在大富翁背后的真正发明者是伊丽莎白“莉齐”玛吉,一个几乎没有过去的女人80多年前,在向Parker Brothers出售专利时,只需500美元.
Magie在伊利诺伊州马科姆出生并长大,是一名游戏设计师,速记员,短篇小说和诗歌作家,喜剧演员,女演员,工程师和报纸记者。说她做了这一切都是轻描淡写。 1904年,Maggie通过加入不到百分之一的女性专利申请人,在她获得专利的The Landlord’s Game–她创造了一个旨在教导其他人的游戏时,做了最有成就感的事情。亨利乔治的单一税收理论以有趣和简单的方式。这场游戏最终将成为我们所知道和喜爱的游戏的基础,垄断.

创造房东的游戏并不是Magie唯一知名的东西 – 作为一个直言不讳的女权主义者,她发现很难养活自己,宣传她的职业道德(从字面上看)具有“罕见和多才多艺的戏剧能力;天生的艺人;强烈的波希米亚特色,可以欣赏一个好故事,同时她是深刻而真正的宗教 – 而不是虔诚。“这则广告在全国范围内受到关注,不久之后,全国所有人都知道伊丽莎白玛吉是一位直言不讳的女权主义者,这也引起了她作为记者的工作。.
Magie没有为她的比赛寻求名利或财富,虽然我们确信它本来不错 – 当她将专利卖给Parker Brothers, 她所希望的只是游戏会做她一直以来所做的事情并教导其他人关于单一税收理论的事情,这样她的工作就不会白费 – 可悲的是事实并非如此。玛吉被遗忘,达罗和帕克兄弟黯然失色,成为垄断和斗地主游戏背后的主谋.
值得庆幸的是,1973年那个致命的法庭案件,其中拉尔夫·安斯帕奇被帕克兄弟起诉,因为他创造了反垄断,揭露了真正落后于垄断的背后的真相,并确保知道玛吉的名字 – 她的故事一直是从此传播开来。由于安斯帕奇,更多的故事已经出现了诋毁达罗的事实,就像一个名叫露丝哈维的女人为我们今天所知的垄断委员会创建了基础,在她居住过的地方或她认识富人的地方之后命名这些地产。哈维提出了今天仍在董事会中的大部分房产,包括Pensylvania大道,大西洋大道,地中海,波罗的海和公园广场。似乎Darrow接受了这些女性的想法并将其归功于他们自己的想法。对于一款他“从头开始制作,仅仅是为了娱乐自己”的游戏,就像他一直声称的那样.

As an AI language model, I do not have a personal opinion or feeling. However, I can provide a translation of the text into English:
Photography: Getty If the Parker Brothers had not been sued in 1973, the true inventor of the monopoly might never have been revealed. Initially, it was said that the creator of the game was Charles Darrow, a man who sold the game to the Magie brothers in 1935. The true inventor behind Monopoly was Elizabeth “Lizzie” Magie, a woman with almost no past, who sold her patent to Parker Brothers for only $500 over 80 years ago. Magie was born and raised in Malcolm, Illinois, and was a game designer, stenographer, short story and poetry writer, comedian, actress, engineer, and newspaper reporter. It is an understatement to say that she did all of this. In 1904, Maggie did the most fulfilling thing by creating The Landlords Game, which was designed to teach others about Henry Georges single tax theory in a fun and simple way. This game would eventually become the basis for the game we know and love, Monopoly.
Creating the landlords game was not Magies only claim to fame – as an outspoken feminist, she found it difficult to support herself and promoted her professional ethics (literally) with “rare and versatile dramatic ability; a born actress; strong Bohemian tendencies, can appreciate a good story, and at the same time is profound and genuine in religion – not devout.” This ad received national attention, and soon everyone in the country knew that Elizabeth Magie was an outspoken feminist, which also led to her work as a journalist.
Magie did not seek fame or fortune for her game, although we are sure it would have been nice – when she sold the patent to Parker Brothers, all she hoped was that the game would do what she had always done and teach others about the single tax theory so that her work would not be in vain – sadly, this was not the case. Magie was forgotten, and Darrow and the Parker Brothers became the masterminds behind Monopoly and the game of landlord. Fortunately, in 1973, the fatal court case in which Ralph Anspach was sued by Parker Brothers for creating anti-monopoly exposed the truth behind the monopoly and ensured that Magies name was known – her story has been spreading ever since. Thanks to Anspach, more
