'Surplus women' was a longstanding terms from the Victorian era (women outnumbering men at the marriageable years).
One would think there was material for a biography - even if her own papers do not survive, she was in correspondence with lots of people whose papers do - great pals with e.g. Noel Coward.
I've just been reading her much shorter novel Legend which has a similar relationship between older/younger woman but in a more Boho/literary setting.
