Definitely--when I became a feminist in the early 80s, I spent some years (at least five, maybe more, it's a blur) reading nothing but women writers. Sadly for me, they were all WHITE women writers, and I didn't notice.
A lot of people, mostly but not all men, told me I was doing some sort of reverse sexism. I said I'd spent a lot of years in official education reading nothing but men, so I was catching up.
I still read mostly women (although not only white women) writers (unfortunately in this latest imbroglio, we can see white women FAIL in major ways).
