Tired of feminism

Deadend politics for nobody in particular

A collection of Tillie Olsen’s literary criticism is called “Silences,” it was based on a a lecture she gave at Radcliffe in 1962 about all the silence surrounding women, women of color, working class women, working class mothers. So few women on syllabi, in literary fiction, so few working class women’s voices, etc., etc. Well I think the absence of women in literary endeavor has been adequately repaired. More women go to college than men. MFA programs are filled with women. Literary agents are almost all women. Women dominate the worlds of pulp and literary fiction. Kudos women.
