I don't think it's restricted to the men, but I take your point.
I really like William Dalrymple's books (City of Djinns for example) and I love Suketu Mehta's Maximum City because they both show me new ways of looking at cities I know well.
I found Holy Cow (written by an Australian woman in Delhi) completely off-putting at first (she is so very unapologetic about how much she hates India), but I came to appreciate her frankness.
