I think I'm judging on type of contribution. I see a lot of famous women writers, musicians but the vast majority of them write and sing about being a women. Whereas, I think women in politics have gone way beyond just being pro-women politicians. And we as a society expect them to be more than just about women rights, not sure about the artist.
I'm not saying there are not great examples, but the ratio is still way under represented. Without researching it I'm guessing if you listed the truly great movie, book, song writers and movie directors/producers and artist over the last fifty years the ratio of male to female would be at least 10:1. I'm just wondering why this is so.
