Jim writes women well in all his books. Murphy, Charity, Molly... All feminine, all complete characters with their own strengths and weaknesses.
Male author who writes women VERY poorly? Robert Jordan. Snivelling, sniffing, bitchy, snotty, conniving, whiny, and horrible. There isn't a woman in the entire series (or at least as far as I read, which was the first four or maybe five, I think) I could either identify with, or could ever imagine wanting to know. I'd smack them all senseless. Hated the lot of them, and the female characterizations are one of the biggest reasons I stopped reading the books. I can only conclude that Robert Jordan has never met a strong, competent, kind, loving woman in his entire life. They're all mean and sly and hateful, judging by the women in his books.
