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?

    I suspect your algorithm has offered you a biased sampling.

    As of the 2010’s, 79% of Fantasy/Sci-Fi genres bestselling books were written by men.
