Just out of curiosity: are there any women on this list? I've been a
subscriber for a year or so, and in that time I can't recall a single
contribution posted by a woman.
 
There are women who write about Pound, of course. Aside from the family
members and the other memoirists like Margaret Anderson and Marcella Spann,
I think offhand of Marjorie Perloff and Wendy Flory. There's also Helen M.
Dennis's essay "Pound, Women and Gender" in the new Cambridge Companion.
Still, I get the impression that Pound scholarship as a whole is much more
a boy's club than (say) Eliot scholarship or Stevens scholarship. Pound
seems to attract a much narrower range of scholarly mentalities.
 
Does that observation seem accurate, colleagues? If it is, do you suppose
it might be worth speculating about?
