Great Regulars: Interestingly, the New York Times Book Review,

which ignited the poorly named "Franzenfreude" debate last fall, turns out to have the most equitable male-to-female byline ratio--about 1.5 to 1--as well as one of the least lopsided ratios of books reviewed, about 1.9 to 1. Close behind it are Granta and the Paris Review and Poetry, which hover at nearly two men to every woman. The New York Review of Books possessed the most skewed ratio, having published 462 pieces by men to 79 by women, or about 5.9 to 1. The New Yorker and the Atlantic and Harper's all had ratios ranging from 2.6 to 3.6 to 1.
