HelpRe: Edna
in reply to a message by Daffodil
Eithne does have a wildflowers in the midday sun vibe. Edna is perhaps a bit sharpish, but I fail to see how it is remotely gender non-conformist on a woman.

It's deffos not gender non-conformist presently but uh... Gender non-conformist in a 1920s way. Like you know how flappers were a direct rebuttal to the Gibson girl look. Flappers were decidedly "unfeminine" at least by back-then standards. That's sort of what Edna makes me think of. Like a 1920s lady who's saying a big F U by cutting her hair into a bob and not wearing a corset. All of her non-flapper corset-wearing flowy-haired friends are called Rose and Evelyn and Alice... which sound sappy feminine compared to Ms Edna. imo
