Yeah, What She Said

Catherine Price's recent Broadsheet column for Salon discusses how she generally finds the New Yorker's Shouts & Murmurs column unfunny, and references a post from a blog called The World's Fair discussing the statistical breakdown of female to male writers for the column. Christine Cupaiuolo, of the blog Women's Voices for Change, gives a nice summary of it (and is kind enough to reference this site).

The chemo seems to be working, but it's getting to me. I'm exhausted, and my hair is falling out, though I'll supposedly get to keep most of it. I want to hold on to the summer, turn it back into what I thought it was going to be.

I wonder what percentage of submissions to Shouts&Murmurs are female? Perhaps the New Yorker's published S&M column reflects the diversity of the submissions they receive ... I doubt it, but that would be an interesting statistic ...

Anyway, I check your site daily for new posts -- just behind my relatives -- for no good reason other than they're my relatives.

Thank you and blessings.

Thinking about you today for no particular reason other than wondering how you are.

Good to see an update!

The New Yorker S&M seems to be a behind the times boys club.

Well said.
