Why we publish women

• In the history of the National Book Awards, only 29 percent of the winners have been women.
• In early 2005, women constituted only 17 percent of the opinion writers at The New York Times, 10 percent at The Washington Post, 28 percent at US News & World Report and 13 percent at both Newsweek and Time.
• Of the 137 authors in the most recent Norton Anthology of American Literature, less than one-third are women.
• In 2003, 72 percent of all books reviewed in The New York Times Book Review were written by men.
• A sampling of four sequential issues from 2003 and 2004 of Tin House, one of the country's most popular and successful literary magazines, found male authors outnumbering female authors by nearly two to one.
• The official poster for 2006 National Poetry Month, sponsored by the Academy of American Poets, features eighteen excerpts from famous poems. Only four of the eighteen are by female poets.
