Good to interrogate our biases.Tamarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986544384594087203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5191202267854919416.post-86380192189342525872010-08-25T10:50:55.899-06:002010-08-25T10:50:55.899-06:00I'm wondering if it's not a bias/preferenc...I'm wondering if it's not a bias/preference for people to read only men or women, but an availability thing. Unfortunately, publishing is still a male-dominated profession, especially in some genres. For example, romance is typically viewed as dominated by females, while scifi and horror is ruled by men. Women authors take on male pen names for a greater chance to get published (or, if a man wants to write romance, a female one). Perhaps the next count you should do is going to a bookstore and figuring which books are most visible to buyers and who wrote them.Pembroke Sinclairnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5191202267854919416.post-9718343450543121012010-08-25T09:48:54.523-06:002010-08-25T09:48:54.523-06:00Oh, I know!!
