Usually I listen to PM on Radio 4 on the BBC and AS Byatt has been broadcasting and it reminded me of this issue of
Women
authors in this country. As far as I was concerned we were all the same but not so in England There is a distinction made between men and women and every day one can read a comment or hear a broadcast on the radio about the issue of women writers ... even today I noticed that Virginia Woolf is still big news in the 21st Century . .. as a leading woman author.
What fascinates me is that I have been described as a Lady Poet so I
suppose my friend out there must have categorised me early on in this writing game as I found every day I had to link myself with all my female friends in the UK. I must admit I did miss the men initially but I suppose after 2 years of doing without male company I have taken up my lot with the women authors and now get used to the pecking order in the ladies department of writing ....... similar I suppose to going to the Ladies Loo .. mind you like the years of experience behind me ... I refuse .. and wait until I get home ... congratulations to the Women Authors and I am glad to see they are all best sellers and have made it with the Men .... excellent stuff . keep on reading the women authors .....
