“It has been suggested that Tiptree is female, a theory that I find absurd, for there is to me something ineluctably masculine about Tiptree’s writing. I don’t think the novels of Jane Austen could have been written by a man nor the stories of Ernest Hemingway by a woman, and in the same way I believe the author of the James Tiptree stories is male.” ThinkingMenWayWritingBelieveHas BeensStoriesI BelieveNovelWrittenTheoryFemaleMalesAbsurdMasculineCould Have BeenJaneAusten Author:Robert Silverberg
“If there's anything Trollope novels always take seriously, it is money - how it flows from one character to another, how it is managed, who has it, who deserves it, and what it means to a character, male or female.” IfsMeanCharacterNovelDeserveFemaleFlowMales Author:Jane Smiley
“The Brightwood Stillness is a novel I could not put down. On the surface, it is the lives of normal people in trying circumstances. Deeper, it is an uncannily perceptive exploration of male psychology… Pomeroy is a brave new voice capable of taking us beyond the clichés of war and its aftermath and into the secret heart of every man. This is simply the best novel I’ve read in a long time.” PeopleMenTryingHeartLongWarVoiceSecretNovelPsychologyCircumstancesNormalCapableLong TimeBraveMalesDeeperSurfaceEvery ManExplorationStillnessAftermathBest Novel Author:Andrew X.

“Something we do know is that review coverage does go to male authors more than women authors. That's a fact. I think it's one of those examples of unconscious bias: If you hire a lot of male journalists, they're more likely to pick up the latest Ian McEwan novel than the latest A.S. Byatt novel.” IfsThinkingKnowsDoeFactsNovelExamplePicksMalesJournalistUnconsciousReviewsBiasCoverage Author:Emma Donoghue
“I'd been assured, at age 21 or so, by a well-known editor who saw the first part of The Secret History in what was basically its final form, that it would never be published because "no woman has ever written a successful novel from a male point of view."” FirstsWellsAgeFormViewsSecretKnownNovelSuccessfulSawsWrittenMalesFinalsPoint Of ViewEditorsWell KnownAssured Author:Donna Tartt
