Are we going to sit back and demand that men write books about women?

In the old days, they used to, Fea....there's Hardy, with
Tess of the d'Urbervilles. There's one of the (sorry - just my POV) worst books about women ever written,
Women in Love by the ghastly DH Lawrence, and in contrast, one of the best novels ever written about a woman,
Anna Karenina.
I wonder, incidently, if men are more likely to read Anna Karenina (because it was written by a man) than Jane Eyre? Should Charlotte Bronte have stuck to her original plan and remained Currer Bell?
