Huh. Once again I'm busted for talking out of my ass. Maybe I'm totally wrong. Lets see: as a kid I read a lot of Daniel Pinkwater (all boys except for 2 books and stuff written after I grew up I'm afraid), Edward Eager (did feature girls doing magic and having 'adventures'), Narnia, Choose Your Own Adventure books (generally boy centric), Ray Bradbury (as far as I can remember there were only occasional mother characters to represent for the xx chromosome types - generally not speaking parts), Isaac Asimov (oh boy - boys), Madeline L'Engle (downright feminist!), Piers Anthony (boys club), Roald Dahl (mostly men with excellent exceptions), The Borrowers (girl hero!), OK, I'm really procrastinating going to sleep. I take it back though - I read more boys than girls, but girl fantasy heros were available to me for sure.
