Miss Marple, early on, did refer to herself as a Victorian lady, recognizing her upbringing in that era. She had one advantage over many of the others, in that she apparently had income sufficient to support herself, without getting married. Therefore, she didn't have a man around (except maybe her nephew, later, to whom she did not feel obliged to listen) to tell her she shouldn't be doing these things.
What was Olivia's reason for using " lady "? I suppose there was a perfectly good reason that she was perfectly consciously aware of. Her Choice not to use " wonan " I suppose empowers her or is a signet of some empowering understanding of Sisterhood?
I think she got a little stuck in referring to the genre, "lady detectives," as it would have been known at the time. She does use "woman" sometimes, but never (I think) just before the word "detective." Are you fake white-knighting for women, or are you just being resentful and snarky?
