Abstract
Many women throughout history, particularly during the seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth centuries chose to remain anonymous in their work, or to write under a pen name that disguised their identity. Writing was not always seen as a suitable profession for a woman, and to ensure their work sold, women often chose masculine names, remained anonymous, or used only their initials. Rare books on display in the Anonymous was a Woman exhibit include works by Louisa May Alcott, Maya Angelou, Rita Dove, George Eliot, Toni Morrison, Christina Rossetti, Carmen Valle, and others.
