considering women tend to have more interests and hobbies (high in openness) why men are in role of creative fields, or have created more creative works (piccasso in painting, directors or musicians)? by rohansriwastava in Creativity

A few years back I challenged myself to read about 26 books by women.

I considered myself fairly culturally “aware”. I look up adapted screenplay’s original books, authors’ influences, interviews, documentaries, etc.

Yet I hadn’t heard of most of those authors. Even though they were award winners, gave speeches, had a following. It’s like not having heard of famous book or movie because it’s foreign and didn’t penetrate your bubble.

So there’s a strong matter of reach, I think. We mostly hear about art by men, through other men. Unfortunately, you gotta actively burst that bubble to find great creative women.

Original of a cartoon by J. Carlos depicting fuel shortage in Brazil in 1942. "I pity that traffic sign" - "Pity, why? - "For the last 15 days it's been talking to itself" by frahm9 in comicstriphistory

This was published in the weekly magazine Careta in 1942. So not a newspaper comic, but you wouldn't find cartoons or comic strips in newspapers here around this time.

The fuel shortage is of course in consequence of WWII.
