Because a couple of the libraries I use have gone to the Cloud Library, in some cases no longer even having their regular "Library website", I periodically check in there to see if they have anything I want to download.

Today, as part of running through authors, whose books I read, I checked the "Featured" page.

And was somewhat surprised that such a high percentage of the featured books appeared to be written by women. Thus my question - are there significantly fewer male authors out there today or if it was an agenda-driven effort...

It was just curious...
Funny how people see things differently...

I happened to be on cloud library this morning (Brooklyn), and on the Featured page, to me, it looks like an equal mix (I didn't go past the first page). Some categories seem to have more of one gender than another, but it looks close to an equal mix, in general.
