men's author and women's author

In Darren's class, we thought about why people read more books written by men's author than women's author. I like reading books, but i never thought about this and i even didnt realize this.
I think one of the reasons of this is the social problem. In the past, women had lower status than men and women could not get the enough education or opportunities to write books. Therefore, it was difficult for women to publish books. In school, we had to read little old stories which written by famous author like Akutagawa Ryunosuke or Natsume Souseki. At that time, it was difficult for women to publish books as i stated above. Therefore, such kinds of stories on the text books were written by men's authors. Therefore, more famous authors who are known by many people are men than women. However, situation changed today. Both men and women publish books as great writers. I think men and women often write books from a different poin of view. I want to enjoy both men and women's works.
