<p>Just to be a killjoy . . . I thought it unexpected that Woolf
would write "demoralizing" rather than "demoralising." I don't
have a full scholarly edition of <i>Three Guineas</i> at hand,
but my old Penguin edition has "demoralising." The 1992 World's
Classics edition of <i>Three Guineas</i> and <i>A Room of One's
Own</i> edited by Morag Schiach has "demoralizing", but a note
at the front of the book states that "ise" endings have been
changed to "ize" in order "to follow current standard usage."<br>
</p>
<p>So it appears to be a pangram in US editions (Google Books
confirms) but not in UK editions. Now who has the first edition?</p>

<div dir="ltr">Today's A.Word.A.Day introduces the concept of the
pangram, or a sentence that includes all 26 letters of the
alphabet. We all know "The quick brown of jumps over the lazy
dog," but surely there are others? They've created a software
program that lets you thrown in whole texts of books in order to
find such sentences.

the 'seventies of last century, Miss Jex-Blake and her
associates were vigorously fighting the battle for
admission of women to the medical profession, and the
doctors were still more vigorously resisting their entry,
alleging that it must be improper and demoralizing for a
woman to have to study and deal with delicate and intimate
medical questions.</span></div>
