Hmmmmm. Back in the early '90s (1990s, not 1890s) I had a bout of Holmes-itis, during which I bought and read both volumes of Bantam's collection of complete novels and stories and (thanks to a friend) hung out with the Adventuresses of Sherlock Holmes, who publish The Serpentine Muse, copies of which are probably still in a box somewhere.

I think "Holmes was a woman" made an occasional appearance, but what I mostly remember is that much of the scholarship was in the service of Really Bad Puns.

So I can't help. Sorry.
