Important Work

 * Dale Spender's book is central. It is so important. I don't understand why it is not still in print. Well, I guess I do: so many of those women are now known. But it is mainly down to her and the few others doing similar work in the 1980s. Thanks for the barnstar! I could get used to this! — scribbling  woman  15:41, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

Hannah Robertson
Hello, perhaps it is too early, but I was wondering why you created a disambig. page for Hannah Robertson although there are not more than one Hannah Robertson on Wikipedia. Also, I cannot find any sources on an English Hannah Robertson (autobiographer), but I do see a few references to a Scottish Hannah Robertson who lived in 1724 1807(?). Thanks, P,TO 19104 (talk) (contribs) 21:35, 9 August 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi! I am working through a list of red links on a page of missing articles for a Wikiproject, and noticed that some of the links, including Hannah Robertson, looked live, but in fact led to articles about other subjects with the same name. As it is a list that I and others are actively working on, I went ahead and created a disambiguation page so that no-one working from the list would think that an article already existed when it didn't. Re. Robertson: there is info. about her in Janet Todd's A Dictionary of British and American women writers, 1660-1800. Thanks for the info. re. her nationality; I have changed the reference on the original list. — scribbling  woman  22:13, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Added article. Thanks for the nudge! — scribbling  woman  00:50, 10 August 2023 (UTC)

Barnstar for Elizabeth Purbeck and Jane Purbeck
Thank you for creating the Elizabeth Purbeck and Jane Purbeck ‎article and I'm sorry the article got temporarily dinged with that AfD attempt. The article is a valuable addition to Wikipedia. I hope the edits I made were satisfactory. Anyway, keep up the great work! To honor your work I award you this writer's barnstar!--SouthernNights (talk) 17:36, 11 August 2023 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Mrs Harley
Hello, Scribblingwoman

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Ted52, and I thank you for your contributions.

I wanted to let you know, however, that I've proposed an article that you started, Mrs Harley, for deletion because it meets one or more of our deletion criteria, and I don't think that it is suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia. The particular issue can be found in the notice that is now visible at the top of the article.

If you wish to contest the deletion:


 * 1) Edit the page
 * 2) Remove the text that looks like this:
 * 3) Click the  button.

If you object to the article's deletion, please remember to explain why you think the article should be kept on the article's talk page and improve the page to address the issues raised in the deletion notice. Otherwise, it may be deleted later by other means.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with. And remember to sign your reply with. Thanks!

(Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

British Working class women writers in the first half of the C20th or so
I know maybe C20th is not your era! But you might be interested in this I made from (mostly) wikipedia pages (Some you may have made?) https://stefan-szczelkun.blogspot.com/2024/01/the-pioneers-list-of-some-british.html You maybe thinK the claim that "Ethel Carnie Holdsworth was the first working-class woman in Britain to publish a novel in 1913", is absurd? You will soon guess I am not a scholar, more of playful compiler of infos. I will add Wikipedia page links to the list soon. Pls reply to stefan@ukart.com if you want to Szczels (talk) 16:46, 16 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Szczels, I sent you a DM but to anyone reading this also interested, see Mary Davys and Ann Yearsley for two early labouring-class women novelists. It's true, though, that in the main, women writers who identified as labouring-class in 18thc Britain published mainly poetry, I suppose for obvious, practical reasons. — scribbling  woman  20:57, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
