Anonymous
Virginia Woolf in A Room of one's Own wrote " I venture to guess that anon, who wrote so many poems without signing them, was often a woman."

In the male dominated publishing industry women were often forced to publish under pseudonyms and anon.
Female writers were taken less seriously than their male counterparts and thought their work was less acceptable in a world of gender inequality and sexism.

Charlotte Bronte was told "Literature cannot be the business of a woman's life " by the poet laureate Robert Southey, she went on to publish under the name of Currer Bell, her sisters followed adopting male names.
After Jane Eyre was published the sisters revealed their true identity.

Louisa May Alcott - A.M.Barnard
Amantine Dupin - George Sand
Mary Ann Evans - George Eliot
Katherine Burdekin - Murray Constantine
Alice Bradley Sheldon - James Tiptree Jr
Nora Roberts - J.D. Robb
Pamela Lyndon Travers - P.L. Travers
Ann Rule - Andy Stack
Karen Blixen - Isak Dinesen
Nelle Harper Lee - Harper Lee
J.K. Rowling - Robert Galbraith
The world of Literature is richer because these and other women despite the odds went on to publish and touch hearts around the world.
