Well, Victorian era novelist Mary Ann Evans, who wrote such classics as Silas Marner, Adam Bede and The Mill in The Floss, hid under the male pseudonym, George Elliot.

The New York Times might want to make her a transgender too /sarc

Yeah but she liked men, so they're not interested.

I'm currently reading Middlemarch to my wife — again, for the second time. I think a case can be made that Evans/Elliot was a cleverer and better story teller than Jane Austen. Austen may have been a more elegant user of the English language, though.
