I might look and see if any of these publications have online archives that go back that far. Thanks. SGx

I feel we are going backwards from the 80′s in some way, after the feminist boom. It would be interesting to look at the writing distribution on the 70-80′s continum/era.

I can always think up a hundred reasons why something is one way or another. My interest is not “why”; my interest is what’s so: ie, in these opinion-forming publications, women are a minor presence.

Of the total 47 articles, 5 are by women, which equals 11%.

In the last 3 printed issues of the New York Review of Books, articles by women accounted for 8 of the 59 articles, which equals 13%.

However, it could be that the readers of all of these publications are heavily men. In which case the gender breakdown percentage of those who write for these publications makes sense.
