@evelynjlamb I know of the generally excellent book you're describing (which was written in the last decade, for one of the other commenters). (Coincidentally, I'll note that I passed it along to a female colleague after I'd read it.) Though I don't know the author personally--despite having corresponded with him briefly in the past, I too would tend to give him the benefit of the doubt, particularly as he was dean of faculty at an all women's college where he spent nearly three decades and is credited with diversifying the faculty in addition to organizing for Women’s Education Worldwide.

We can all certainly be more cognizant in the writing process to expunge our unacknowledged biases. Perhaps this type of review is something we might all attempt when giving peer-review to our colleagues' work?
