While I have no analysis to back me up I think fewer authors of legal mysteries create lawyers of the opposite sex.Bill Selneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17268006369157307593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644690488802388716.post-13787580963778450562013-05-17T13:36:25.472-06:002013-05-17T13:36:25.472-06:00Bill - Thanks for your thoughts on this.

So I'd suspect you're right that there will be more female fictional lawyers as the years go on. You make an interesting point too about same sex/opposite sex authors and protagonists. I don't know that there's a particular reason either as there've been some very succcesful protagonists who were written by members of the opposite sex. I'll have to reflect on that one...
