"Anonymous was a woman" wrote Virginia Woolf. And indeed, many authors who wrote anonymously, or under pen names, have been. But there are many reasons to write under a name other than that bestowed upon you by your parents - and in this week's episode, the second in our mini-series on authors, we'll crunch the numbers and break down those collections of letters most closely reflecting our identity - our names.

Join author, linguist, and mathematician-in-the-making Sarah on an exploration of the world through the lens of letters and numbers!
