[Diane Ferbrache <dferbrache@renton.wednet.edu>]

Thanks for the prompt response to my query about women authors who use
men's names.  Some of the suggestions are listed below along with some
websites and a reference book title.

"Literature cannot be the business of a women's life, and it ought not
to be." -- Robert Southley, Poet Laureate of England to the Bronte
sisters.

Marian Evans                                      George Eliot
Louisa May Alcott                               A. M. Barnard
