Though not strictly related to e-publishing, an article in today’s PublishersWeekly examines why publishing is now a primarily female-dominated field and just how this affects the industry. Do women dominate the field because they typically grow up reading more than men do? Does the lower entry-level pay base deter men? Are “causes” such as these really legitimate, or are they merely self-perpetuating stereotypes? How does a lack of male perspectives affect what gets published and how it's marketed, if at all? These and other fascinating questions are considered.
