(I did recognise one: Jess Molloy. I couldn't remember where from; turns out she's a literary agent, and she's done judging for some other lit prizes. The fact that she expects a lit prize to work like this may mean that any prize she's been a judge for is compromised, and I'd give her agency a wide berth, too!)

Looks like Molloy was a judge for this year's Women's Prize. I knew it was in a state, but guess that's confirmation that not only does it let in dudes, it excludes women with brains.

The other 2025 Women's Prize judges on the list are Claire Kohda and Chloe Timms. So that's 3/6 Women's Prize judges who think writers ought to be excluded from prize longlists if they have feminist beliefs.

(and yes, giggling at 'timms', of all names; can't make it up!)
