I'd been reading and mulling over those Harriet posts too (and the VIDA commentary, and the recent call to boycott the dude-centric New Yorker, and, and, and). The implicit idea that by only publishing women, you're making "women's writing" a THING (to avoid, to reserve for women only, etc) makes me cringe. <br /><br />Both my chapbooks are out or forthcoming from small feminist presses, and I chose and respect these presses not for my "chances" but for their vision. If you are an editor, you make editorial choices. Scifi presses don't publish literary fiction. What you set up as the mission statement is your own call.niinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02887502737254898583noreply@blogger.com
