I love a good fiction prize lot and books getting recognition. And I think having one just for women is good until they are seen as balanced. But I am seeing a lot of women written fiction books just as much as men... so unless we have one specifically for men AS WELL then I don't see much use of a prize like this one then?Olivia's Catastrophehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12706765857201768908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-904551567804562350.post-65257711677550274722016-04-17T15:18:47.319+01:002016-04-17T15:18:47.319+01:00I know what you mean - which is why I'm not ce...I know what you mean - which is why I'm not certain on my feelings here. It just feels like we're somehow saying we can't compete with the men if we give in and have separate prizes - which is not true.<br /><br />There definitely needs to be more chances for female authors to get the recognition they deserve... I'm just not sold on separate prizes as a way to do it.Cee Arr @ Dora Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04074909561530525221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-904551567804562350.post-51769023279108452792016-04-17T15:12:35.626+01:002016-04-17T15:12:35.626+01:00To be honest, I don't think I really care eith...To be honest, I don't think I really care either way if we have segregated prizes. I actually think that I would personally prefer it as it gives me a better chance at winning, because we all know that, it up against a man in this society, the man is usually favoured. But I guess it just depends on who you talk to. paperbackprincesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07446601964387517150noreply@blogger.com
