you kinda have to make an effort to search and seek out these female centric contents, or content by women.
Even if it's not much harder to find and watch Orange is the New Black, most popular shows aren't female-centric.
Things like fandom, your dash/friends/other people reminding you that these media exist by talking about it make it more likely that you give them a shot sometimes.

At least that's the case for me with reading. I'm actively seeking out female authors and non western/marginalized authors and it takes an effort- also it doesn't mean that the stuff is necessarily good, sturgon's law etc.
(even rec list gave me shitty bland books just because they were queer)
So yeah, if I see "the name of the rose" around, I already have an idea about it and flip through it etc. Many female authors don't have that benefit, aside from big name authors like JK Rowling.

That said, I think the effort is worth it. I read more women than men now and enjoy their perspective and writing a lot, even if I never heard about them before. Queer books are still hard to come by though.

ok, idk if you're getting back to this post, but here you go:

Village of Stone by Gua Xiaolu (beware of graphic sexual abuse of children)

Nordseedschungel by Doris Meißner-Johannknecht (queer book, idk if it's translated into english though)

The Hottest Dishes of the Tartar Cuisine by Alina Bronsky (also csa warning)

Atlas of Remote Islands by Judith Schalansky (I love this one)

Female centric books (albeit by male authors):

Bad monkey by Matt Ruff

queer books/books by queer authors:
The Terrible Privacy of Maxwell Sim by Jonathan Coe
(takes a homosexual turn later)

Die Mitte der Welt by Andreas Steinhöfer (YA)

A reading diary by Alberto Manguel

I found more books, obviously, but those are books I can recommend as enjoyable/Interesting.
