How does aspergers differ in women compared to men?

Is something like this more what you're looking for? http://www.tonyattwood.com.au/books-by-tony-m/archived-papers/80-the-pattern-of-abilities-and-development-of-girls-with-aspergers-syndrome

I found this, but it's more about the experiences of women rather than differences in presentation: http://taniamarshall.com/files/Being-a-girl-in-a-boys-world--Investigating-the-experiences-of-g.pdf

Also, theres journal articles like this, but you'll need a subscription to access them, unfortunately: http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2FBF02091791?LI=true

You could try searching google scholar for publicly accessible articles if you're looking for more credible sources, I suppose?

I suppose I'm not sure whether supposed differences in presentation (from what I hear, this includes not being disruptive at all in school as a child, trying quite hard to fake being 'normal', although admittedly failing most of the time) are accounted for by either socialisation or natural difference. Since being socialised as female is all I know, it becomes hard to disentangle.
