In today’s research, I learned that L. M. Montgomery used her initials to mask her gender when she was trying to publish.
I also learned that Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland was on the list of books that inspired her to become a writer, eventually leading her to write the Anne of Green Gables series (the inciting incident came from a newspaper article she had read).
The more I learn about her, the more I think that we would be, dare I say, kindred spirits.
