ABSTRACT
Because it is often difficult to determine how identifications have been made, we indicate below the information by which we have determined whether a text is woman-authored. Named authors are alphabetical, and multiple works by the same author are arranged by publication date, earliest text first. Texts authored by a ‘lady’ appear at the bottom of the list, with texts organized alphabetically by title. Legend (in addition to those works already provided in Appendix F): Adv. advertisements for a work specify either the author’s gender or identity. AO Author of. Bentley G. E.
