I have to say that after all for me at this point in my life while I
can discover new genres or (to me) male authors I like for real, my
driving desire and interest is to read books & essays by women.

I remain amazed how I discover so many women seem indifferent to this
important gender divide. I see those who care on the few places
dedicated to some form of women's art, but outside that, no. They look
surprised when I say most of the time I prefer women's writing. They
seem not to realize the central messages or interpretations found in
male books are male centered, male aesthetics. It's denied; maybe not
on the level of the sentence or paragraph or chapter but on the level
of a whole work of art. Many women do try hard to write versions of
male books and especially male movies (There's money in that.) Selling
themselves for centuries but now one does not have to.

In the US men are trying to make pregnancy compulsory, but having made
a miscarriage or anything going wrong in pregnancy, now life
threatening, the cruelty and drive to dominate women of many is
backfiring ...

I'm with Austen on Queen Caroline: she was on her side because she was a woman

Ellen,

You and I have disagreed about a thousand things over nearly 25 years, but
on this point, we are in 100% agreement - I've cited her line a hundred
times or more about hating the Prince Regent because he treated his wife so
abominably for so long.

I have been a board member of Advance Gender Equity (AGE) for nearly 8
years. Read about the great work that AGE's young diverse team is doing
here in Portland:
