>men restricted women from education
from colleges, yes, but not from the arts. During the most gender oppressive periods of history young women from wealthy families, in cultures across the world, were encouraged to study the arts and foreign languages. The oppression of women would explain why female authors weren't published, but it wouldn't explain why they didn't write anything. The real question is, with all that leisure time, and with access to libraries, why didn't women write anything?
