Think there was a TV movie about a female reporter who posed as a man.
Harry Potter author J.K.Rowling used her initials, IIRC, rather than her first name because the target audience, boys, might not want to read books by someone named Jennifer.

She has since written a series of private eye mysteries* using the name of Robert Galbraith

*Now adapted for TV
