I doubt many women would crave those elements in their sci fi. But identifing the elements they want is a good start.
btw if anybody knows a sci fi book with the elements I like do share please ")

David Gerrold's "
War Against the Chtorr" series. Action, horrific aliens (not just "big and scary," but creepy and disturbing); I'm not sure what counts as "suspense" but there's plenty of "what exactly is going on here (and how do I sort that out before I get shot or eaten)?" Unfortunately, there's no legit ebook version available.
Richard K Morgan's "Altered Carbon" is a high-action thriller.
Richard Kadrey's "Blind Shrike" is good; has been reworked into "Butcher Bird" by Nightshade books, but the earlier version was released free on the internet, and is still available in several places.
