i just dont trust this rewriting of history
The economist compared the proportions of books published by men and women since the 1970s. At that time, women writers published three times fewer books than their male counterparts. A trend that has been largely reversed over the past five decades. By 2020, more books were published by women than by men.
that became a default gut reaction moan
the 'reader' or 'buyer' or 'borrower' of eng lang books is ONE ' class' be they clad in beloved old but well cared for 30+ years, holy jumpers, or Mrs Rockerfella...or De Beauvoir... or Ms Arendt
the toughtful folk of uk ( even Wales, who . fair dinkum i doubt let any babe be published, ergo.. Estelle, i tried!) usa, nearish anglicised continent...
george elliot
Mary shelly
Austens all ten of them in their factory
and some Brontes
Wharton
Cather
massive betseller Wendy Perriam
and add in the De Beauvoirs of whom there were 5 or more especially the Frog randy superstars https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colette
Frog babes churning out really good super sexy saucy realwomen-lit for 150 years..
I would bet my blogs its far closer to 50:50... overall reads over 200 years... generously 40/60 perraps..
fair dinkum ....divide longer life expectancy ( i amamazed one hasnt been on womans hour moaning about that, too)
say 9 mths out of action per podding... maybe 5 an average lifetime... last 20 years
so i think even 40:60 is in fact 'equality', amortised or even arbritraged or 'controlled' for time off, on your back, doing more useful stuff...
And ALL of Georgies books are super serious new fabulous serious new universes even her Felix brownish man one... first i believe so she shoukd be given 2 for one ref her sakes figures...when all of Amis, Barnes and much of Mckewan are frankly copycatting the same sick private schoolby bad or wet dreams... so they should
be amortised into irrelevence
zeroed
Mrs Wolf delib not on the list , and of course, Mrs Potter for gods sake! should not Be forgit..and many others
chuck yourself in a river, when every day is a bonkers impossible, new one
history should be rewritten ...to exclude you.
