Useless factoid-of-the-day:
The term originates from the H. Rider Haggard novel, "She" (first
published 1886). The character Ayesha, known as
She-who-must-be-obeyed, the Queen of Death, the White Goddess,of the
lost city of Kôr who rules her kingdom with terror, She is the very
image of the Femme Fatale. To disobey her or to scorn her is to earn &
receive instantaneous death.
And every time she says anything that's supposed to be the wisdom of the
ages, it comes out like Annie Besant--as Chesterton said, "That
lamentable form of thought called 'higher'."
