If women publish more, men publish less. When women couldn't publish, men published more as they were the only ones. I guess the figures for white men are problably now less than 100 years ago when razialized men were hardly published. Not to say razialized women.
Interesting how we discuss how Trollope seems to write women well despite his politics, and that Dickens largely doesn't, rather than just reading more women. I realise the above warrants more nuanced discussion.
It is refreshing to see some actual data in this fraught discussion.
Yes indeed
If you and Henry both think so, I will take your words for it. Though my personal preference would be to ignore agendas.
"Women outpublished men in the mid 19th century"
This fascinates me: I would not have expected it.
Interesting. I take it Jude Cook’s Conduit Books is on your radar?
I heard about it but I don’t know anything about the books they are publishing…
That is not my problem with the title.
My problem with the title is “gender parity.”
What a depressing way to assort and select books.
I agree! But the people who think it matters ought to be doing more data analysis

What a surprise.
