I'd like to add a caveat to the Martin recommendation--he has a certain . . . tendency. I'll let Kate Elliott explain it:
That's gotta be deliberate. How is it even possible to do that by accident?

Actually, Dragon's Egg is giving me an opportunity to write from a female POV.For what it's worth, I think you do well with Cadell in Dragon's Egg.
or at least in a way that seems to be working for Ireth and Nihal, unless they're just being polite and not telling me how guyish my character really is
I find many established authors/script-writers guilty of this. Yeah, they're published/extremely-successful and I'm not, but I can still say a female character is being objectified when she is.But the root of a lot of poor portrayals of female characters is the author treating them like sex objects, not like characters. So Legendary Sidekick's third point, I think, is quite an important one.
