Seminar paper from the year 2004 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,7, University of Siegen, course: Contemporary Scottish Writers, 10 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: 'Women writers are in the worst position. They do less well with publishers' advances. They are shortlisted for and win fewer prizes - not because they're less talented, but because of entrenched patterns of how to see and read literature, what subjects may be considered 'serious''. Janice Galloway's words are a sad fact: In spite of last century's female emancipation there is still an imbalance of literature by men and women. The majority of published authors are male, only a few women writers are well-known as producers of strong literary work (or rather known at all).
