I don't know how well it would work for women but what I did was based on this very idea. Also the fact I REALLY like to read. Read in public. No it really is that simple. I really like reading in bars. And in cafe's. . . The key is to sit in the middle of things, as people who want to be left alone will tend to pull to a corner for privacy. Try to get to any bar where they take away the bar-stools as the night goes on early to get a seat there (as it is also often the best lit place after that time). . . people who like readers may well approach and just be open and friendly about it. Make a regular of yourself and the locals will feel more comfortable interrupting you as well.
