Many female writers have adopted male nom de plumes, or otherwise gender-ambiguous pseudonyms, for a number of reasons: to publish without prejudice in male-dominated circles; to experiment with the freedom of anonymity; or to encourage male readership.

Insidermonkey experts made a list of 6 female authors with male pen names.
Author Harper Lee died at 89 on Friday, and she has been remembered most for her classic novel To Kill A Mockingbird.

In fact, since her name isn't identifiable female, readers may not have even known they were reading a woman's words. And that very well could have benefited her.
