The VIDA 2011 count

March 1, 2012 | 4

VIDA, an organization that promotes gender parity in the literary arts, has tallied up the 2011 bylines and book reviews from some of the bigger magazines . Granta was the only publication to achieve parity, but they did have an issue devoted entirely to feminism, so that may be skewing the numbers.  The Atlantic, The London Review of Books, and Harper’s are not making the cut. While institutionalized  misogyny in any profession presents a problem, gender quotas are probably not the answer.
