how many thrillers are written by women in the USA?
That's one area that's gotten better overall. Many more female writers in the thrillers area in America.

(sometimes I'm just having a day where I'm irritated with men, and looking for an excuse to rant over them about something, even if it's only from my point of view and not actual reality)


My apologies for the misinformed rant.

True. My apologies for my misinformed rant.

I also come from the comicbook world, which is still very much ruled by male writers and artists. It's also partly why I left the comicbook message board I used to be on. I was tired of being one of the few females on there.

Seems you've drawn the wrong conclusions about non-illustrated genres, it seems.

Not really. It's only been in the past hundred years or so, that women are finally catching up in this area, and it's still not in all writing genres.

Sorry, this is supposed to be a rant thread and I'm getting off topic.

I'm afraid not much can be done about a dearth of DWFs (or DRFs, or DRMs for that matter). We can only make changes to our own world, not those of the past.

True. Good point.


Now if only I could invent a time machine and live even farther into the future...



New rant: Why haven't time machines been invented yet darn it? Weren't we all supposed to be driving hover cars by now? Hurry up science! You're taking too darn long! I should be able to "zap" myself to work instantly by now via Star Trek, instead of having to drive on actual roads. pffft.
