BBC radio segment on undervaluation of women artists (roughly, selling at 10% of what male artists sell for) here
For those who recoil from audio, as I normally do, there's also a summary in the Guardian here

Undervaluation of women artists
Tuesday, August 9, 2022
Randall Collins has a blog, how could I not know
Collins published The Credential Society in 1979, when his publishers took so tepid an interest in the book they refused to publish a paperback edition. It's now a classic, took on new life with increased concern over escalating costs of university education and student debt in the US.
Turns out, he has a blog, The Sociological Eye - a blog I know I will never find again if I bookmark it. So I link to it here.
Rejection of Proust by Gallimard
Short segment on Radio France on Proust's rejection by Gallimard, account of the many revisions Proust made to the MS once accepted for publication and typeset (he apparently made significant changes to FIVE galleys). The text originally submitted to Gallimard was a "dactylograph" which did not have the now famous first line (Longtemps, je me suis couché de bonne heur.) - instead there was a rather long and not very interesting sentence setting the scene. It sounds as though the famous line did appear, but was written in as an interlinear note on the dactylograph.
The whole thing here.
