Cheshire Cat is on a distinguished road
Default Writing Style and Gender

Is there a way to distinguish gender through writing style? For example, if you were given 2 poems or stories, one written by a man and the other by a woman, would you be able to guess correctly who wrote what? And if so, how?

I've always wondered about women who have had to use male pen names in the past, and nobody really knew until their works became successful.
