[Opinions] Re: Voltairine
You just happened to be reading about her? Is it the anniversary of her birth or something else that I've missed? Otherwise the coincidence it truly freaky.Fabulous list, by the way.

It was quite strange, actually. While basking in my newfound love for Romaine Brooks and her name, a fondness that was inspired by her Wikipedia article, I recalled Kellie's fondness for Voltairine -- both the name and the namesake -- and proceeded to read about her on Wikipedia. I think I associate Romaine Brooks with Voltairine de Cleyre because they both have unusual names (though the latter's is exceptionally unusual) and they were both strong feminist figures.
