Re: [microsound] who is nn? who is cb?

But don't forget that women artists (e.g. writers such as the Bronte sisters)
had to use male pseudonyms in order to get published, or rather to be taken
serious as authors.  I think that women are still expected to be muses rather
than creative artists (also in their own view) and that quite often they put
their energy in fostering the talent of their boyfriends (doing the household
chores so that he might spend his time in composing -- and, alas, constructing
'perfect' virtual women)...
