"I read a piece of writing and within a paragraph or two I know
whether it is by a woman or not. I think [it is] unequal to me"
--------V.S Naipual
The above Naipaul sneer, in my opinion is a non issue. Some female
writers, while writing as women, have been known to put forward
superlative literature.
Moreover, it is even impossible to completely mask one's gender as a
writer.
---------CAO.
