[edit]

It would be good to have WP articles for all of Holtby's novels at least, there is one for South Riding, but others have no article. We could start with The Crowded Street, one of her more autobiographical works, which prefigures South Riding somewhat. Frank Walsh (1962) (talk) 15:21, 25 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Somerville picture[edit]

The Somerville archive has a picture of Holtby as an undergraduate (here) – is it out of copyright? - Pointillist (talk) 15:41, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Public domain use cannot be determined without knowing F. Howard Lewis' death date. I have added it as a fair use image in the infobox.WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 20:51, 24 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Harry Pearson[edit]

"She never married, though she had an unsatisfactory relationship with a man named Harry Pearson, who proposed to her on her deathbed." is uncited.

Alan Bishop in his Oxford bio of Holtby writes "On her deathbed in a London nursing home at 23 Devonshire Street, Marylebone, Winifred Holtby was betrothed to the man she loved, Harry Pearson."

Not sure what the truth is.

Women and a changing civilisation spelling[edit]

Women and a changing civilisation, capitalising only the first word, appears to be correct. See Open Library and Preview. Errantius (talk) 12:54, 11 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
