Gender Bias Literary Reviews, Day 1

A recent article in the Boston Phoenix commented on the lack of reviews on NPR for fiction written by women and strongly implied that there was a deliberate gender bias on the part of the network. As Diane Rehm and Terry Gross are two of their more popular hosts, I have a hard time accepting that they would skew more towards men. So form now to the end of February, I plan to to link to and add up NPR's literary reviews and interviews.

Margaux Fragoso reviews Margaret Atwood's Cat's Eye.

Maureen Corrigan reviews An Available Man by Hilma Wolitzer.

Two literary reviews today, both women.
