I removed the link to Anna Williams in the article, because the article linked to describes a video game character. I suspect the Anna Williams mentioned here is the poet; unfortunately she doesn't have a Wikipedia article, although she's mentioned on the Anna Williams (disambiguation) page.

Anna Williams (poet) is now an article, and Neddyseagoon already updated the link; Anna Williams is mentioned here. --Cyfal 19:28, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Origin of the Name

An Economist review offers a variation of the origin given here. It says "The name stuck after an absent-minded male guest once attended wearing the blue woollen stockings of working men instead of the more formal white silk."
