What does Woolf mean when she says, "I would venture to guess that Anon, who wrote
so many poems without singing them, was
often a woman"?
O Many works signed Anon (that is, anonymous, or
"author unknown") may have been written by women.
Anon, a 16th-century author of mysterious background,
was probably the pen name of a woman.
O Anon was the term for a theater's musical director who
wrote songs for plays but did not sing them.
Anon, the wife of the translator and poet Edward
Fitzgerald, had a gift for writing that was equal to her
husband's.
