Annie Sophie’s most established pseudonym was Victoria Cross. According to The Bookman, she chose this pseudonym, because her initials are V. C. and she is the descendent of a V. C. (Victoria Cross medal recipient).She had her first piece, Theodora, a Fragment, published in The Yellow Book in 1895. In the same year she wrote The Woman Who Didn’t, a response to Grant Allen’s book The Woman Who Did.
