When we talk about sex and money, what we are actually talking about is power and who wields it. Anonymity gives people without power an opportunity to grab a little bit as their own. In the early years of women’s novel writing, the stigma of publishing as a woman was so great that in A Room of One’s Own, Virginia Woolf wrote that many anonymous figures were women. More accurately, Anonymous is anyone subjected, anyone trying to find a way to claw back a little bit of what has been taken from them.
