Hello, Alicia! I so agree with you. Indeed, in my comment I made more or less the same point, though you make it more concretely and poignantly. Last year I published an essay on necklaces; the in-passing blog responses to it are generally "this is…
Thanks, Sarah! I liked what you wrote, too. Thanks, La Tonya, for your thoughts. I agree that we need to support our fellow women writers by buying and reading their books, and by reviewing them, as well. In the realm of poetry, it's also important…
The new translation by Constance Borde and Sheila Malovany-Chevallier of Beauvoir's The Second Sex is out (in the U.K.).
Here are some thoughts on poetry, philosophy, mathematics, kids and apples; the blog contains good interviews with other woman writers.
Emily, I agree with much of what you say here but I disagree about women's interested in the political and foreign. Anyone who reads feminist writings or otherwise women's lit is concerned with the political. And as someone who wholeheartedly believ…
Great blog, Emily! I knew Virginia Woolf once said men considered war a far more important subject for writers than domesticity--but count on you to trace it back to Virgil.
Since we live in a world that is still very patriarchal, at all levels and in evident and hidden ways, it's not surprising that women's books are not as well received as they should be. Part of the problem is institutional: men are more likely to la…

Part of the problem is institutional: men are more likely to land in the powerful positions that determine taste and popularity. They are more likely to edit the popular and classroom anthologies, to sit on committees that give prizes, to run publishing houses, to run state and federal agencies and foundations, a… Continue

ladies.........all fabulous, kept me reading and wanting more.
Since I write more of the romantic type of novels, looks are important for my characters. I come up with their look various ways. I envision what they should look like, and write their attributes down, or I use pictures of people I clip from magazin…
My cousin, Em, doesn't see it. She sees a plain face, limp hair, fat rolls, etc. But to me she's beautiful, and maybe I'm biased, but she's the most beautiful woman I've ever known or seen. It's because she's the sister I never had, my sister in Chr…
