Very much so... not one of us would be here if not for women.
We are lucky to have numerous great women authors in the Logos universe. Here are a couple resources that are useful to all but are focused on Women.

Indeed, one and all.
And Dan, I almost reached for that second resource. Almost. I have the first one, but it seems to reach a little too far.

WSB realatively conservative you might expect from Thomas Nelson. It’s not fully my cup of tea but I have found it interesting although I use it little.

Since IWD is of tremendous interest here, I'll expand a bit.
A couple days back, I was researching 'judahizer' (sp?), whose meaning seems to be 180 degrees opposite its pastor-usage. But accidentally, in a part of the Talmud, a rabbi (if I remember right) was arguing the merits of afterlife with a pagan. The latter bragged about the number of prostitutes they'd avail themselves of for free. The former demurred saying their women would be queens, etc. I only mention the Talmud as one of many examples concerning the silence of the ages.
And in recognition of today (any excuse works), I purchased https://www.logos.com/product/17743/fragmented-women-feminist-subversions-of-biblical-narratives
It sounds properly nefarious, but in running my neural networks on the hebrew, a ways back, the nets could match up the Genesis, Exodus and Samuel 'women' accounts, without any access to the vocabulary or gender tags. Strictly syntax. That led me to suspect the accounts started out in a female environment. The humor is always raw, typical of women. Never men.
