French literary prize male/female divide

       With the major French literary prizes now announced, Anne Brigaudeau offers, at the Biblio Thérapie weblog, Prix littéraires 2013: en cinq graphiques et deux photos, la part faite aux romancières, an interesting breakdown of the sex-divide in the judging.
       Among the striking statistics is that men published a lot more novels to begin with -- women-authored novels only made up 36 per cent of the 'rentrée littéraire' publications. But the percentages of titles left over -- on the shortlists, and among the winners -- were even lower.
