Women now publish >50% of books and sell more books than men. Reasons: book demand driven by women, pub industry dominated by women, writing is a solo effort, lacks office politics & hierarchies, and is low-paid for most authors. @elliswonk npr.org/sections/money/2023/…

Women now dominate the book business. Why there and not other creative industries?

A new study finds that women are excelling in the book business. Yet, they still lag in other creative industries. We search for an explanation why.
