    What might Mary Ann Evans, Violet Paget, Amantine Aurore Dupin, & Mary Bright have thought of this initiative? All feature in new 'Reclaim Her Name' series, which has put 25 women authors' 'real' names on books first published under male pseudonymshttps://www.standard.co.uk/lifestyle/books/reclaim-her-name-womens-prize-for-fiction-a4522006.html …

        Got a feeling that Mary Ann Evans - author of unquestionably the best English novel - might be trusted to make her own decision?

        Would her work be taken seriously today under her own name? Or would it have been called 'chick lit'?

        I really don't like this. No one forced these writers to choose their pseudonyms, and their individual reasons for doing so were extremely varied.

        Many female authors historically published under male nom de plumes to avoid prejudice in a completely male-dominated field. Women who wanted to be something other than wives or mothers, often took male pseudonyms out of necessity. So yes, they were “forced”.

        I understand the sentiment behind doing this, and I realize that some of these authors may no longer be with us, but it seems wrong to do this without getting consent to do so?

        Replying to @Fem_Scribblers

        Vernon Lee wasn’t a pseudonym, it was the name she went by all the time - a fact intimately tied up in her queer identity. This isn’t feminism, it’s a denial of autonomy to dead geniuses who can’t respond.

        Yes, Bronte! I knew you'd have something to say and much more eloquently than I did.

        Robyn Warhol’s Gendered Interventions is from 1989 and details how it wasn’t just women who adopted male pseuds in 19C — men found it commercially savvy to do so as well. On top of others’ arguments about some pseuds not being pseuds but their actual chosen names.

        What about the women who wanted to write under those names? This seems like it could erase queer female authors who chose a masculine name to express their identity more fully.
