A few days ago, I saw a male reader seriously annoyed by the self-deprecating approach women writers so often take towards promoting their work, underplaying their skills and seemingly astounded by their own achievement.That's stuck with me, so I'm speaking up.
Far too many women are taught from a very early age not to put themselves forward, not to ‘show off’, and absolutely not to challenge male authority and superiority in well, just about anything - work, sports, the arts
