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?

    its romantasy, usually its white in shining armor type of thing, a guy usually hot comes and “saves” the woman from poverty or whatever situation they are, and the guys are in professions that are “attractive to the readers”(eg fireman, policeman,etc), alot of them are some what heavy sexualized books too. usually targeting white female audiences, and yes its from a prospective of a white man/woman. i assume thats whats you meant? unless your talking about other genre, scifi and other fantasy have different audiences, spy type novels(cladestine operations) are usually only men.
