Some folks who read this might be interesting in checking out the following website:
http://www.bookblog.net/gender/genie.php
If you input text and specify what sort of work the text is from (fiction, nonfiction, or blog entry), it will attempt to determine the gender of the author of the text. (It uses some algorithm based on works by authors with a known gender.)
Be warned, though, that it apparently has some strange results in some cases, as noted in the comments section of this blog post: http://tar.weatherson.org/2007/04/11/women-in-philosophy/#comments
