  She (novel) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In sequel Ayesha (1905) and in prequels She and Allan (1921) and Wisdom's Daughter (1923), Haggard attempted to vindicate her character, and she comes more to resemble the elder Irene of George MacDonald's The Princess and the Goblin and The Princess and Curdie.
She has been adapted to film at least nine times (as La Colonne de feu in 1899 and as She in 1908, 1911, 1916, 1917, 1925, 1935, 1965, and 2001, with a dubious further claimant by that title in 1982).
This version was followed by a 1968 sequel The Vengeance of She (alternately “The Return of She” or “Ayesha: The Return of She”), which bears little resemblance to Haggard's work, and was novelized by Peter Tremayne (as The Vengeance of She).

 Margaret Mitchell's Gone With The Wind
When she fell from a horse in 1920, it was the first of a series of mishaps, which ultimately forced her, in 1926, to resign from her job as a newspaper reporter at The Atlanta Journal.
She began a long convalescence in the cramped, one bedroom apartment on Crescent Avenue she had nicknamed “The Dump.” Layed up and restless, Margaret devoured the books brought to her from the Atlanta library by her husband John Marsh.
Because the Crescent Avenue apartment was the ceaselessly busy “hangout” for John and Margaret’s eclectic circle of friends, she had to take great pains to hide the manuscript – shoving manila folders full of manuscript under the bed, under the sofa, and even using pages of manuscript to wedge a wobbly table leg.
