In our NRA Basic Handgun classes we find that is common with beginners -- both men and women.

Our classes run about 20% to 30% women. We recently had a class of all women -- ten friends who all signed up together. We seem to be successful with women because, although we all have a good deal of training ourselves (including a couple of POST certified instructors in out group), we avoid the tacticool and macho. We also have a couple of female instructors.
