Yes. This is why, when I list the best American writers of the century—Emma Cline, Jennifer Egan, Barbara Kingsolver— they’re all women. Men have been engineered out of the running. We don’t know what they would have written if they had a chance.
In Spain, this did not happen, and we have a healthy balance of male and female authors writing great literature today.
