We are so pleased to award the New York Times “Summer Is Coming” reading list of 24 books the first GA Stamp of Approval since we updated the criteria in order to be more in line with United States demographics. The list includes books written by a diverse group of authors — 44% men, 56% women, and 15% women of color — which earns the New York Times a Bronze GA Stamp of Approval. This clearly demonstrates that the updated criteria is achievable and that representation will be rewarded.

Good work, New York Times!

Congratulations to @nytimesbooks for being awarded the first GA Stamp of Approval using @GenderAvenger’s new criteria, and for demonstrating that a diverse speaker list is possible. #SummerReading #GenderAvenger https://www.genderavenger.com/blog/action-alert-new-york-times-summer-is-coming-reading-list-earns-ga-stamp-of-approval
