A little histroy lesson...gotta go SWMBO...is calling.

Joe

Haggard completed the novel in six weeks & presented it to his literary
agent A.P. Watt with the proclamation that that work would be the one
he would be remembered for. Certainly, he created a new class of
fantasy novel, the tale of the lost land & the lost race, but more than
that he unveiled an intriguing character, a figure of dread power which
continues to fascinate us more than one hundred years later. The
phrase, She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed, can be found verbatim on the English
television series, "Rumpole of the Bailey." The somewhat pompous lead
character, Rumpole, uses it to describe his domineering wife. Various
popular novelty items like coffee mugs & sweat-shirts can be bought
sporting the epigram. The American television series "Cheers" does not
use the same words, but She is there. On "Cheers", she is known as
Vera, a never-seen character with the power to terrorize the
unflappable Norm. These vestiges remain in a society that has probably
for the most part never heard of Rider Haggard's She.

Thanks, Joe, cool answer.
