      I dunno whether Vernon Lee was a man or not, but it is pretty clear she made the intentional choice to go by the name "Vernon Lee" as a writer

      The problem is not that one can't conceive of a reason, but that one can conceive of more than one reason, and the one that better fits the circumstances is being denied out of ideological antipathy.

      Why is that the important thing? Why not just respect their wishes either way?

      Surely respecting these people would involve addressing and referring to them in the terms they consistently chose to apply to themselves. But then the ideological antipathy creeps in, and you can't let that happen anymore. Hmm.

      Pretty sure when you scrub their name off their work because you've presumed to know better than they did what name they wanted on the cover, you surrender the moral position of respecting them. I wouldn't respect you if I were asserting my presumptions about you, would I?

      This is a vast oversimplification Women weren't denied access to writing careers in the 19th century - in fact, women novelists in particular were so common that novels were negatively stereotyped as a feminine art form

          Mme Bovary was so corrupted by novels that she wanted to live in a novel herself. She never learned of her success, however.

          But she's on the consumer side, of course, so not really a relevant example. And I don't remember what the book says about the authors of what she read.

          George Eliot in fact makes it pretty clear why she had the pen name when she wrote her scathing essay about "lady novelists" - novels written by women were disdained as clichéd and commercial and she didn't want her work lumped in with them

          That's absolutely a result of societal sexism and internalized misogyny Eliot was expressing the sentiment people on the a Internet now name as "Not Like Other Girls" But it was nonetheless clearly a personal choice and not something she was forced into

          Yup. Mrs Gaskell, Ann Radcliffe, Jane Austen, Clara Bow...certainly sexism posed obstacles and women's literature was disparage then (as now) but most of the women in this own names project did not live in times when women were forbidden access to publishing.
