Tippins: I replied to your Voltairine comment down a little ways, in the top ten survey :)

The biggest problem...
is that, at this point at least, I cannot firmly call myself an anarchist. D: She looks like she was a pretty kickass individual and I would have no problem with using/shortlisting Voltairine and there being a connection to her. But the fact that Voltaire is a pen name Voltaire invented for himself, I feel like using Voltaire is referring exclusively to him, and that Voltairine would be to Him or to Voltairine de Cleyre. kwim? If it were a name that was actually a name apart from her and Voltaire I'd be totes okay with it.
Maybe one day I will read a bunch of her books and then be okay with it. I just can't quite get over my qualms at this point though :P
