As previously noted, one of my aims of last year was to read 40 books from a more gender balanced range of authors.
How did I do? Well, thanks to a couple of other changes in my life, I actually managed 60, and did indeed make sure I read more female authors.
Here's how the figures broke down, in line with previous posts on the subject:
Of the sixty books, 29 were by men and 31 by women - a 48% to 52% split. In terms of authors, this too was balanced, with 18 men and 23 women; 44% to 56%.
This year, I'm not sure I'll make it to 60 again, but am committed to retaining this gender balanced.
