It's a worldwide thing. This is my OP post from some weeks ago:

Holy fuck, I thought this was just a meme in the US but I'm noticing that the writers who are getting exported, translated and praised from my region (Hispanic America) are also women. Examples: The Argentine woman who wrote Tender is the Flesh, that book was meme'd to success by American women from twitter once the translation was a released, or the Mexican woman who wrote Hurricane Season, that novel was shortlisted for the international booker prize.

What are the main themes? Well, veganism for the first, feminism/anti-machismo for the second. Themes that the modern leftist/liberal/"progressive" woman would love. Back in the day you would hear about Hispanic writers making it in other countries after struggle and effort (Borges was translated until he was in his fucking 60s!) and now these women just become successful thanks to identity politics.

No fucking wonder those Spaniards published a book under a female pseudonym and found success (which made many women angry after realizing the truth, of course):

Or how in Italy, Elena Ferrante is actually a man
