Why did so many notable women writers die single or childless?
Was it because women with children traditionally had less time for leisurely pursuits?

>Sappho is a great poet because she is a lesbian, which gives her erotic access to the Muse. Sappho and the homosexual-tending Emily Dickinson stand alone above women poets, because poetry's mystical energies are ruled by a hierach requiring the sexual subordination of her petitioners. Women have achieved more as novelists than as poets because the social novel operates outside the ancient marriage of myth and eroticism.

William Carlos Williams!
Well Jane Austen, if you couldn't tell from her books, was an acrimonious bitch . No decent man would suck his dick in that. Plus guys then, and now, didn't like marrying cunts smarter than they were.

Most notable female writers were pretty pro-women's rights and against many societal norms, and so they probably had a hard time finding male partners who weren't... the opposite of all that. That's just one reason though.
