This is an interesting discussion. I'm working on a slim book of fairy tales, bed-time reading for children. I've been debating between publishing it under my own name, and have people assume that they're only for girls, and using either initials or a male first name so that they can be read to both boys and girls. (most of the stories have both male and female protagonists. One has a girl as the primary protagonist, and the longest one has no females in it at all.)
