There are exceptions. The authors you mention wrote those books for both genders. I'm not saying women can't think like men or write to both genders They can but Women's Historical Fiction is catered to women.
Most male authors I have tried do not get women at all. They do not like mushy stuff. Take Nicholas Sparks he does not get romance at all.
