"Shouldn't the gender category have withered away by now? As the only first-string female New York theater critic for an indefensible number of years, I would have loved to pretend these disparities were illusions. And with a heartening new infusion of women on the aisle (there are now a record four of us in the 20-member New York Drama Critics Circle), we just might be able to test for unconscious, perhaps inevitable, gender bias in reviews."
