Thank you. Even though I read a lot, I was completely unaware of this deceit. As a novice writer myself, I have often considered that if the day comes when a published work of mine is distributed to the masses, should I publish under a pseudonym or not, as I feel that historically female writers are rarely taken seriously or given the same status as male writers (i.e. Jonathan Franzen). Also, I have been under the assumption that (true or not) women will easily read books written by the opposite sex, whereas men prefer books written by their own sex. You have convinced me that if that day occurs, I will sign my own name on the book, and hopefully the future of literature will be more gender neutral. So, thank you.
