(Why can't using a woman's name be credible, anyway?)<BR/><BR/>Even JK Rowling chose that nom de plume (or variation of her own name) because it sounded more masculine and she didn't think kids would want to read a book about wizards written by a lady.<BR/><BR/>This past week I visited a Sci-Fi museum in Seattle and was amazed at the number of female authors who published under mens' names, starting way back in the 1920's through today.<BR/><BR/>I wish Mr. Sewell would examine history as thoroughly as he examines his own ego and stop perpetuating the myth that women are not or cannot be extremely talented, creative people.<BR/><BR/>Great post - thanks for sharing this!Pam Hawkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03516546337996538661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4038880039237668233.post-46427069838584997062008-07-18T19:59:00.000-07:002008-07-18T19:59:00.000-07:00hi Sharongreat post!!!thanks for visiting my blog....hi Sharon<BR/>great post!!!<BR/>thanks for visiting my blog...<BR/>and for the link :)<BR/>do you want me to add your blog to new listings (Top 101 Artists' Blogs)??Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08308898926898440376noreply@blogger.com
