Original Note:
J.K. Rowling chose her pen name using initials, because her publishers thought readers would be less likely to read a book written by a woman. In this she follows a long tradition, the Bronte sisters, George Elliot, the list is long. Sexism is nothing new. https://www.quora.com/Why-does-JK-Rowling-go-by-JK-rather-than-her-full-name
