Maura McMillan said way back in mid-december
" i think many male writers are stuck in this respect because
most men just don't understand the way womens' minds work,
and if that's so, don't try to act like you DO understand, or
you're going to look stupid in the eyes of your female
readers. some writers are fortunate to have a naturally
epicene voice, and they're the ones who should try to get
inside the opposing gender's head."
Have you read Ruth Birmingham's books? "Ruth" is really
Walter Sorrell and he seems to be able to pull off writing a
female, tough rather than hard, character fairly well. Louise
