because women are more emotional than the men in most number of cases,Men are considered as hard and tough,though greatest authors of all time are men..for eg:William Shakespeare,Kalidas,Shelley etc

Those are just examples, but I think that those learned gender roles lead to certain perceived differences in writing. Like women looking more towards shifting balance, context, relationships, motivation, and time (why and when); while men look more towards steps, goals, purposes, and space (how and what). The greatest authors manage to look towards all of these, regardless of their gender.

In the other genres, I have not yet had any reason to note the gender of the author as it generally has no bearing on the book's quality though it may affect the writing style.
