At least by my count. Looking just at the earlier Pulitzer Prize for the Novel (1918-1947), I count, for men, 6 of 15 as "not sunk into obscurity" (40%), and 5 of 12 (42%) for women.

Post-1948, I don't think any of the books by women have quite sunk that far.

Different people can come up with different counts!

I love statistics! Thanks for the post. I have a feeling that when I'm done with Lamb in the Bosom, The Able McLaughlins and The Keeper of the House ... I'll be digging deeper into those oldies. So far, I'm loving Lamb in the Bosom (in spite of that title and the torrid cover!)
