The Nobel literature prize has faced criticism for being overly focused on European and North American writers, often emphasizing style over substance in prose.
Historically, the literature prize is male-dominated, with only 17 women among 119 laureates, highlighting the gender disparity within the prestigious recognition.
Annie Ernaux was the last female recipient of the Nobel literature prize, awarded in 2022, reflecting the ongoing challenge of diversity in literary achievements.
Each Nobel prize carries a significant monetary award of 11 million Swedish kronor, a legacy of Alfred Nobel, aiming to support and promote impactful contributions.
