Women of Letters SIR,—In his article on Fanny Burney in

the Spectator of June 13th. Mr. Derek Hudson commented on the librarians' habit of cataloguing her novels " neither under B nor D but under A." Surely it is time a protest was made against this listing of a woman's works under her married name instead of under her name as an author. The most glaring case is that of Mary Wollstonecraft, who has to be sought under Godwin—ironic indeed for the author of The Rights of Women.—Yours faithfully, ROSALIE GLYNN GRYLLS.
