Women Writers Still At Disadvantage
"The place of women in the literary world is still as urgent an issue as it has ever been. I worry that other women of my generation, having taken their admission to this world as a natural right, have grown as complacent as I have been. But admission is not the same thing as acceptance. And what the reception of literature by women over the last few decades--longer, of course, but let's keep to a manageable scope--shows us is that acceptance is a long way off."
