I was going through “fantasy books” on amazon and was surprised to see that most of them are written by women, and the ratio is not even close. I was kind of expecting the opposite.
Does anyone know why this might be the case?

Anne McCaffrey probably inspired a lot of women. Ditto Diana Gabaldon.

Now that I think about it, Margaret Weis too…

I also don’t think you can talk about fantasy authors without mentioning Ursula K. Le Guin as well. Her work is brilliant.
