The share of women authors registered in the copyright system increased by 10.6 percentage points from 1978 to 2020, according to a report released by the US Copyright Office on Thursday.
The report, Women in the Copyright System: An Analysis of Women Authors in Copyright Registrations from 1978 to 2020, found that 38.5% of copyright registrations went to women authors in 2020. It draws on the work of the Copyright Office’s 2021 Kaminstein Scholar in Residence, Professor Joel Waldfogel, and examines women’s authorship rates in the US copyright system, compared with their participation in copyright-based creative industries.
