          14/ if "86.84% of YA SF that's published is written by women" is a TOE HOLD, then what does complete and fair representation of women in the field look like? 95% ? 99% ?https://twitter.com/elizabeth_case/status/1301621428589076483 …

          where to start. over last 200 years, YA has been majority male authored. in the last 30 or so years, women have gained a toehold in the (male-dominated) publishing industry in YA, and regularly marketed or encouraged to publish as YA even when their books are not...

          15/ Also, how can you claim that publishing is "male dominated" when 78% of the staff at publishers are female? What I see is that there is a systemic problem where a female dominated industry seeks to exclude the Other (male) writers.https://www.theguardian.com/books/2016/jan/27/us-study-finds-publishing-is-overwhelmingly-white-and-female …

          17/ Yes, I agree that women hold internalized biases, and this is why I'm saying that we maybe need to consider affirmative action and quotas, not just on the books that publishers buy, but also on the staff that they hire.https://twitter.com/elizabeth_case/status/1301623484754333696 …

          18/ good question. Unclear, but maybe not! Men did pass the 19th amendment, giving women the vote, and men used to run the publishing industry, but invited women in. So we have evidence that men invite in outsiders, but women do not. Need to fix thathttps://twitter.com/elizabeth_case/status/1301624186809483264 …
