We know that the two women knew each other, but I have not found any evidence of direct influence nor any scholarship addressing the similarity. Was this idea, even the phrasing, floating around feminist circles in the 20s? Coincidence? Superficially rather than genealogically related? <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>On a completely different note, my essay on Virginia Woolf’s truncated appearance on <i>Downton Abbey</i> has just appeared in <i>The Journal of Popular Culture</i>, off the beaten path for most Woolf studies: <a href="http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jpcu.12404/full">http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jpcu.12404/full</a>.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Best,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Jen<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>Jennifer P.
