Letter: Action women

Sir: According to Hugh Peto (Letters, 30 August) "social, scientific, and artistic experimentation have always been generated in the male-dominated public sphere". My experience is quite the reverse.

Almost everything in the arts since the late 1980s that has seemed to me to be fresh, adventurous or moving has had a - often the - major input from women. And amongst my friends the most adventurous are the women.
