Women's bookstore “She Said” excluding “Alice Schwarzer and JK Rowling

WORLD:

Why did you choose to only offer books by women and queer people?

Senger:

It has to do with my own reading experience: At school, like probably most, I read 90 percent old white men.

It was similar during my studies, I just didn't know which authors to turn to because I hardly knew any.

When I was in my mid-twenties, I set myself a quota: I wanted to read at least 50 percent women authors.

In retrospect, it's almost ridiculous, because I now read 95 percent of books by women or queer people.

My awakening experience at the time was reading Sylvia Plath's “The Bell Glass”.

I noticed: Aha, so you can write that too!

WORLD:

Do women write differently?
