* GirlShowGhetto: OlderThanRadio. Ann Radcliffe was a bestselling author who popularized the GothicHorror genre, but she made the mistake of publishing emotional and dramatically written stories to a large female reader base under a female pen name (not a male pen name like Creator/MaryShelley, [[Creator/CharlotteBronte the]] [[Creator/EmilyBronte Bronte]] [[AnneBronte sisters]], or Creator/GeorgeEliot), so her work was derided as "hysterical, sensationalist female nonsense." Even ''Creator/JaneAusten'' took a crack at this book with ''Literature/NorthangerAbbey''. Even to this day, Ann Radcliffe is largely forgotten and rarely credited for basically defining and popularizing the beloved GothicHorror genre.
