  • But OP was speaking specifically about fantasy books, and not specifying only bestsellers.

    My guess, with no data to back it up, is that both men and women enjoy writing fantasy and science fiction, and many of them are good at it.

    But writing science fiction often requires a science background, and historically there are many more men than women who have that. It is certainly becoming more balanced, but the difference is still there.

    So women, who generally don’t have as scientific a background, turn to fantasy where they can create their own worlds.
