[edit] Emergency surgery

I'm sorry to be so abrupt, but I wanted to clean up the factual errors in this as quickly as possible since it is linked from the front page. I'll be happy to explain anything further, but basically everything I changed is based on the sources cited in the article on The Well of Loneliness, mostly the biographies by Baker, Cline, and Souhami and Laura Doan's book Fashioning Sapphism (which all agree on the essential points). In particular, that book reviewer for The Independent totally made up the claim that Una somehow became lesbian because her husband gave her syphilis -- it's certainly not in the biography by Diana Souhami that he's reviewing. It's doubtful she even knew she had syphilis until after she had already been "diagnosed" as an invert by her therapist. —Celithemis 06:57, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
