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.

Here's what I found in Three Guineas:

In 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.

Enjoy,
Sally
