@zoeinthecities Ms Kazan, may I ask: when male authors seriously essay the creation of female characters, what are their most common errors?

My own practice is to begin by ignoring gender differences entirely; we are persons first, and gendered persons second. Humanity > gender.

But there are subtle gender differences that can, in certain dramatic circumstances, matter profoundly. And it's crucial to get them right.

This is hard, though. I have long admired Tolstoy's FAMILY HAPPINESS, with its 17-year-old female narrator; do you admire it too?

What do you think of attempts such as this to pinpoint subtle yet crucial gender differences? http://theatln.tc/1nhAghX Does it ring true?
