"Authors", please! "Authoresses" reminds me of the "Composeress" Hilda Tablet in Henry Reed's plays (albeit a tad before my time)...

"Authors", please!

We may leave it to Lady Dixie to put right the absurd transatlantic illiteracies of our member's vocabulary:

In the case of "girls and boys" how we wonder would he attempt to refer to the first group: "boys and boys come out to play"? "children come out to play"? "little persons come out to play"? Civilisation you see lies in the making in the mind of more and more distinctions, not fewer and fewer. Brutally to do away with distinctions already made and understood never does.

To begin with, I was not crossing the Atlantic when writing as I did.

Next, "Lady Dixie" died 112 years ago, although the very name "Dixie" undoubtedly has an American conntation.

There's no need to make distinctions that are uninformative and/or when no pertinent one exists. No reader would know the gender of the author without being told it first, as it does not impact on her work, just as the remarkable work of Boulanger, Beach or Bacewicz sounds like the work of a woman. Moreover, even you, I suspect, would refrain from speaking or writing of pilotesses, bus-driveresses, chief executrixes, trumpeteresses, barristeresses, would you not?

"Dear readers" would have sufficed in the example that you mention - and the author could have signed off with her name but at least she had the sense to fall mercifully short of referring to castaways and castawayesses...
