Women Writing SF/F...or not

[rolanni]

A couple of interesting articles were pointed out in Another Part of the Internet.  I'm posting them here to boost the signals, and because they are an interesting addition to the ongoing shouting match discussion about how women don't write SF/F, except when they're putting guy writers out of a job by doing it wrong.

Strange Horizons' 2012 SF Count

Lady Business 2012 Coverage of Women in SF/F Blogs

The break-out points from the NPR study of women in cinema, at I'm Working On It, including some interesting information from studies done at the Geena Davis Institute regarding how men perceive the number of women within a group.

Anybody got any more?  Real Numbers relating to real publishing are what we're looking for, not Opinions.  The reason the shouting match discussion exists is that there are 'way too many Opinions, and 'way too few Real Numbers.

Adding:

Empirical evidence that women have been writing SF/F for A Long Time.

What shouting match? There are several good discussions around about. Some of them are passionate, but to call them shouting matches is counter-productive, imo.
