 While the "Woman's World" column was fairly light in tone, she also wrote a more serious column for "Week", a Toronto-based literary periodical, using the names "Jeannette Duncan" and "Sara Jeannette Duncan".Her biographer, Misao Dean, says that "well-suited to the "Week", her strongly defined progressive views on international copyright, women's suffrage, and realist fiction made her work remarkable in such conservative journals as the "Globe" and the "Post".
