Anon, who wrote so many poems without signing them, was often a woman.

Summary

This quote suggests that many poems, which were written without the author's identity being revealed, were actually written by women. It challenges the assumption that most writers, particularly poets, were men during that time. With the use of the pseudonym "Anon," female poets were able to participate anonymously in a literature scene that was predominantly male-dominated. The quote highlights the underrepresentation and marginalization of women's voices in the literary world, emphasizing the unrecognized contributions of women poets throughout history.
