I rang the literary editors of a few ‘respected’ papers and asked them how much space they were giving to women writers in their ‘review’ sections. Perfectly predictable response. They all said the allocation was fair. One said it was equal, and one prominent editor went so far as to say women are dominating the reviews!
… What happened when I asked who was doing the talking in mixed sex conversations? Well, it was the women of course. And then when you get to measure it you find that women get to talk about 10-20% of the time in conversations with men. A woman who talks about a third of the time is seen to be dominating the talk.
And what happened when I asked teachers who got their attention in class? Well, it was all equal, wasn’t it? No preferences there. And you measure it and find that girls get about 10-20% of the teacher’s attention. Any more, and the boys think it unfair - and go into revolt.
So what do you think I found with the reviews?
I would have predicted about 10-20% of the space went to women’s books. Well, it is less than 6% of the column inches. And the reasonable editor who thinks that women are getting more than their share is one of the worst offenders. Poor boys! It really tells you something when they think only 94% of the review section is not enough, doesn’t it? When 6% for women is too much you get some idea how much men think they are entitled to - as a fair deal.

New favourite comic alert! Mimi and the Wolves by Alabaster! (modeled here by Maxine).
The drawings are amazing, I love all the characters and it’s got a great atmosphere. Cozy but also pretty spooky!
I bought it along with Wool, which is a shorter story set in the same world.
If you want to buy them, heres the shop, but I think Mimi and the Wolves might have sold out already. Hopefully there will be another print run. It must be a lot of work making those silk-screened covers.
Also follow Alabaster on Tumblr for updates.
