I dont buy it. You have to cherry pick among classics hard to come with the "much of it does not have female characters" conclusion.

Much of it do have women in it. As I go through them in my head, almost everything has some women in it, at least existing in larger world. Except "Old Man and the Sea" one character against the world kind of things. Hemingway has women in other books tho.

You invented a quote that does not quote anything I said, so I won't defend it.

I suggest that you notice the word "almost" in the text I quoted in my original comment.

Frankly, you are just wrong about content of classical literature.
