I recall seeing Evelyn Waugh in a list for a class in Women in Lit.

What’s scary is that there are still some allegedly-enlightened corners of the world – and publishing certainly thinks itself to be enlightened – where the sort of rampant sexism faced by Chartrand still exists.

I admit here that I got a smidgen more respect under a female pseudonym a quarter-century ago, but I wasn’t trying to earn a living.

I am trying to decide when I will come out as a man. This is encouraging.
