"The vast majority of book are bought by women today. The publishing industry therefore is most concerned about books that appeal to women."

I assume this is fiction and not political books.

I assume this is fiction and not political books.

There is more overlap than you might think. Dickens' fiction, especially "Tale of Two Cities" but also "Nicholas Nickleby" and "Bleak House" had political ramifications. In the U.S. it would be very hard to find a work of non-fiction that had more political influence than "Uncle Tom's Cabin" by Harriet Beecher Stowe.

And what do you do with Orwell and Ayn Rand? Fiction yes, but also very political.
