<p>And another famous contemporary writer whose name we all know once claimed Woolf called someone (I think it was Vita?) a "bitch." (I was able to explain that Woolf had used that word only in reference to female canines, as far as I could tell, and edit it
out of her piece.)</p>

<blockquote>
<div style="direction: ltr;">With so many Woolfians in the UK recently for the Sussex conference, some may have heard a programme on BBC Radio 4 ('Three Transformations of Virginia Woolf'). In the 2nd episode, broadcast on Tuesday July 8, Alison Light, speaking
about Woolf's relations with servants, said that she uses the word 'vermin' in connection with servants. This is no more true than Merve Emre's claim in her annotated
<i>Mrs Dalloway </i>that Woolf used the word "coolies" "liberally" in her diary (it's not used there at all). 'Vermin' and 'verminous' appear in a number of instances in Woolf's writing but not describing servants. Ever. This is how rumors start!</div>
