The article explores the gender bias of literary culture through an analysis of gender parity in the distribution of grants from the U.S. National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and the representation of women authors in Norton anthologies. Emphasis is given to topics such as the dearth of women serving on NEA panels, rising levels of parity in literary fellowships, and the activism of feminist editors.
