To all the distinguished,
I write to you today due to a moral dilemma facing all the Englands. I hope that my efforts here will inspire my fellow authors to join me in my mission against the tyranny and censorship brought upon us by The American Administration. I challenge all to strike with the power of language and literature, in order to restore the privileges guaranteed to us by natural Hu(wo)man law.
Lady Protector,
Jane Austen

Ah, Miss Jane, you're back. We hadn't heard from you in several weeks, and I feared that perhaps you had abandoned us. I don't quite understand what forms of tyranny and censorship you are lamenting, but your belief in the powers of language to restore the natural rights of humanity seems in keeping with the century in which you lived most of your life and consistent with fellow 18th century authors such as Jefferson, Mary Wolstoncraft, and Tom Paine.
Jane,
I have to disagree. The young maiden--who is the Lady of Shalott—is modestly dressed. And while her clothing does reveal the fact that she is a woman, her facial features and long, flowing hair do that as well.
As for the color magenta, it does not in anyway diminish a woman’s position in society. My color choice merely echoed the painting I based my blog title on.
I must say, Jane, that I too am truly disappointed…
A great woman such as yourself (if you are a woman—a possibility I highly doubt) should reveal herself to the world.
Sincerely,
Deepa
P.S. your comment on my blog might’ve just revealed your identity. ;)
