Yes, it's a world-wide phenomenon, at least in the West, Quincy, that women are enrolled in higher numbers in the arts, and do a great deal better than men.
My current first year group is typical - 17 female and 2 male. And this is a literature unit.
As Paul suggests (and I agree) - "girls work harder and prepare better, among other things."
Which means we can now safely exclude the access-to-education argument in the current issue.
