which includes a racial slur. So, the book by this Chinese writer that the Women's Prize has chosen to highlight is the one under a white name, with an offensive slur in the title. Extremely bizarre choice.

They did this with a writer who I think wasn't born Jewish, but married a Jewish man. Used a Goy male pen name and wrote a book that was, as far as I can tell, anti-semitic. Love for the nuances to be swept under for the sake of WWF (White Women Feminism)

It's hard to be surprised, given this is the same Women's Prize that shortlisted a non-binary writer, Akwaeke Emezi, without even knowing they were NB. Representatives then called Emezi "genderfluid" in the media and patted themselves on the back for being so progressive.

In the wake of some genuine concern from trans women and AMAB non-binary people over whether they'd be just as willing to shortlist trans women and AMAB NB people, the Prize promised to reform its policies to be more inclusive. Which they never did.

Edith Eaton?
Sui Sin Far?
Mahlon T. Wing? Hells no. Bc Mahlon T. Wing was not a defining name for this writer (who went, btw, by many pseudonyms! Like “A Canadian Firefly”!) and this story (NOT NOVEL), which MAY have been hers, did not play a major part of her oeuvre.pic.twitter.com/13NKtw4ymA
