    Sure, but when you asking about a specific profession, that seems the most obvious way to interpret that question.

    Unless OP just wants to find a nice female author to hang out with (in that case we should probably exclude all the dead ones).

      Counterpoint: If success is what we base this on, then E. L. James (50 shades of grey) is a very good author.

      Sure, if you’re talking about insurance salespeople or stockbrokers. But in the creative field, things are a little deeper.
