#ThanksForTyping Shows How Male Authors' Wives Often Do Most Of The Actual Work
0
Come on, fellas. Let’s get it together.
This is Bruce Holsinger. He's a novelist and an English professor at the University of Virginia.
Holsinger and some colleagues were recently discussing how often the wives of male academics do significant work for which they are rarely given proper credit.
This reminded Holsinger of all the times he has read male authors thanking their wives for typing up manuscripts in the acknowledgments of their books. Curious to see how widespread the practice was, Holsinger did a quick search on Google Books and found dozens of "eye-opening" examples that he started sharing on Twitter with the hashtag #ThanksForTyping.
