 * Symbol question.svg Interesting woman, good sources, offline and subscription accepted AGF. I like ALT1 best because it tells us of both achievements and life, but can we say that she found "working" with him "intolerable" when she still managed to do it? The source says "bondage". Not sure enough about the fine differences, - please let me know. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:52, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I believe the sources mention that she stopped working with him, but that would make the hook rather long.Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 18:05, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
 * "stop working" supports "intolerable" enough ;)
