Men writing as Women, Women writing as Men

Here I have two examples, one of Women writing as Men, and the other of Men writing as Women.


Tana French writes her first novel, In the Woods, from the perspective of Rob Ryan, a detective in his early 30s.  


Stieg Larsson, in his bestseller The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, closely follows the perspective of Lisbeth Salander, an angry, brilliant 25 year old computer hacker.
