This is beautiful. When women did this, they were (imo rightly) supported and encouraged, and it became part of the history of discrimination against women and their fight for equality. I'm looking forward to seeing how this one will be viewed, but I'm guessing it won't be put in as positive a light.

Oh I don't think women were supported and encouraged universally. I'm sure there were moralizing puritans as well as those who felt their positions of power threatened, who took great offense to women using male pseudonyms back then. I don't expect the outcome will be very different in this case.
