Lest you forget that men are still the arbiters of the literary world, don’t miss “My So-Called ‘Post-Feminist Life in Arts and Letters,” a tour of sexism in publishing and journalism with Deborah Copaken Kogan, published in The Nation this week. Written in ironic celebration of making the long list for Britain’s Orange Prize (recently renamed the Women’s Prize for Fiction), Kogan lays out her life in sexist encounters, such as Googling her college rapist to discover he’s now married to a woman who appeared on “Lean In” panels. My favorite recurring theme is her publishers’ refusal to let her title her own books.
