Sure.
Women now write and publish more books than men.
• The Shift: By 2020, women crossed the threshold to publish more than half of all new books, according to research by economist Joel Waldfogel. (World Economic Forum)
• Historical Growth: In the 1970s, women authored fewer than 20% of published books. That share grew steadily through the decades, overtaking men for the first time around 2020. (qz.com)
• Sales and Market Share: Data shows that female-authored books have also begun outselling male-authored books on average, contributing significantly to overall publishing industry growth.(NPR)
• Readership and Demographics: Women make up the majority of book buyers and readers, and fields like literary agencies and publishing houses are heavily female-dominated.(The Republic of Letters)

I mean when I say published I am talking about the number that hit shelves and are available to the general public, aka authors, I'm not talking about publishing houses.

This is what I see checking out the new books section at libraries and bookstores (both online and actual).
