In the West I don't seem to see literary marginalization against women. The publishing landscape is full of very successful and talented female writers. If anything I see some gender prejudice (women can't write science fiction, men can't write about feelings...), but I wouldn't say there are doubts about the space for women in publishing. And it always baffles me a little when I hear myself defined as a female writer, as if this makes me something different. Once in a bookshop I saw a large section of "Women's Literature", that is, only books by female authors - regardless of genre.
Mystery writers write "Mystery Novels", and crime writers write "Women's Literature"... Well, this is what comes to mind every time I hear the issue of women writers raised. All in all, I would prefer to be considered a person who writes, without prejudice – unfavorable or favorable – based on the fact that she is a woman. Without Stumpa Errors Elisabetta Phone Number Data Modena Speaking of women's writing, Nemirovski comes to mind: she is one of my favorite writers and places emphasis on some characteristics of women's writing: stories set in the often torn and problematic everyday family life (see also Dunne, Mazzantini), with particular attention to the social context, especially where there is poverty, marginalization, war. Great capacity for introspection and analysis of the protagonists' feelings, so that their internal and familiar "microcosm" becomes a paradigm of the world around them.
In this sense, therefore, since women have held the pen (from Jane Austen onwards) we have witnessed performances portrayed with an almost more lucid and ruthless gaze than that of men. Publishing success remains a difficult objective to achieve in Italy: Mazzantini, Avallone, Tamaro and all the others reach the general public after having passed the ruthless scrutiny of literary agents. It's not a road for everyone. As for me, to improve myself, I think that in addition to practicing the technique, I have to be one hundred percent myself. That I don't have to run after the fashions of the moment, because the public would notice and leave me in the lurch. I would say it applies to everyone: don't sell yourself short.
