The Last 250 Books Written by WOMEN That Peggy Read

I made two lists:
A list of the last 250 books I read that were written by WOMEN
A list of the last 250 books I read that were written by MEN
What I found:
About half the books I read are written by women and half are written by men. (I only had to go back to about the same date to get 250 for each list)
Both are of equal quality - in my opinion - but this is due to my choice of books.
Most of my horror genre books are written by men.
