    S3. Chapter 19. Questioning Authorship

    Do you think critically about authorship? We didn't! That is until we stumbled across some books that made us question what constitutes plagiarism, why men would have put women's work forward as their own, and what repercussions AI and technology have on writing. Join us as we chat about these hot topics and let us know your thoughts in the comments! Have you come across a book with controversy surrounding its authorship? We'd love to know what it is!
