• ... that New Zealand writer Jessie Weston wrote for William Ernest Henley's magazine for 18 months without him knowing she was a woman? Source: "I had written for the New Review for some 18 months before Mr. Henley became aware that his contributor was a woman, and when I disclosed my personal identity to him he was greatly surprised and amused ..." [1]
  • ALT1:... that the 1890 novel Ko Meri by New Zealand writer Jessie Weston included a scene in which the sun sets in the east? Source: "Thus, describing an evening scene at Parnell, she tells how 'the sun sank to the cone of Rangitoto' — a direction in which no mortal Parnellite ever saw the sun sinking." [2]
  • ALT2:... that New Zealander Jessie Weston said she encountered no sexism in her career as a journalist in the late 19th and early 20th centuries? Source: "[Weston] considers journalism to be the only profession in which there is absolutely no prejudice against sex, the one qualification necessary being capability." [3]

• Comment: I prefer ALT0, but appreciate that the source is an interview with the article subject and I'm not sure whether that is a problem for the purpose of this hook. ALT1 and ALT2 proposed as alternatives. Thanks in advance, and grateful for any improvements (to the hooks or the article).
