Really, really disappointed to see Caryl Churchills name on that list. Her writing has always been about strong women and she is of an age when she knows what struggles women have gone through in her lifetime (and in history) to achieve anything looking remotely like equality.
Most of the names are total unknowns - I don’t think writing a self promoting blog really counts as being a writer, any more than signing your name on a colleagues leaving card does - a few usual suspects , and the rest are rent a signatures, which means the few people , like Churchill, who are respected for their body of work should be ashamed of adding their names to such a barrel scraping list.
