“Publicity in women is detestable. Anonymity runs in their blood. The desire to be veiled still possesses them. They are not even now as concerned about the health of their fame as men are, and, speaking generally, will pass a tombstone or a signpost without feeling an irresistible desire to cut their names on it.”
Virginia Woolf

Hm, reading this quote after your post on narcissism is interesting. I wonder if Wolfe's anti-publicity is a sort of narcissism in itself, the desire to efface oneself as a form of self-complimenting...?
Also, another idea for your blog: search for others keeping blogs about/during their dissertation process and create a list of links...
