What Do Women Want?
WOMEN AND BOOKS 2007 NATIONAL STUDY LAUNCHED at BookCatcher.com
The post at their site says:
Over the past 52 weeks, fewer than 15 percent of the books on the New York Times
non-fiction bestseller list were authored by women. Industry experts estimate
that nearly 70 percent of non-fiction books are purchased by women. This
disparity led Content Connections and eWomenPublishingNetwork
to launch a national, comprehensive study on the reading, recommending and
book buying habits of women. The study also investigates the factors that
can help more women become successful, published authors.
Women and Books 2007 National Study
is available online from March 8th, through Mother's Day on May 13th. The survey can be found here.
Interesting survey, but if I had to hazard a guess, I'd say that if you fill out personal information at the end, you will receive endless amounts of SPAM. Their privacy policy says that there will always be an "opt out" clause which means there will be plenty to opt out of.

Lorra--
I'm one of the survey authors, and I promise you there won't be any spam. That is a stock message about having an opt out of any messages, and we won't be using the list to sell anything. We need to have a way to send you the survey results - that's it. Thanks for taking the survey!

Hi Jan - I'm so overwhelmed by unsolicited emails, I tend to overreact sometimes. Thanks for the clarification.
