I don’t think I’ll be able to say whether it’s post-able at the moment (I hazard to say yes, and you can edit it at any point). But if you want to work on the origin, I suggest watching Merge With Caution and seeing whether it was mentioned whether Stevenson’s Bookends inspired or were created from Jekyll & Hyde.

If you want to stick with the J&H route, while doing research, I came across Gertrude Jekyll, whose son served as the namesake of the story’s good doctor. She might not be the origin, but it might serve as a starting point for that research. Either that, or perhaps someone involved in gender psychology studies?
