Back in the day women weren't allowed to own real estate, get a home loan or even work in real estate. Today most residential real estate agents are women but men still dominate commercial real estate, construction and architecture. Men are also more likely to be single home owners. "You've come a long way, baby," but more progress will continue to be made.
I previously wrote about the history of Real Estate Boards and the first Multiple Listing Services. Women were excluded along with blacks, Latinos, Asians... Over time the Boards broadened their ranks after the US Civil Rights Acts and Fair Housing Act to include everyone including women. https://mary--cummins.blogspot.com/2024/01/history-of-us-boards-of-realtors-and.html
A quick overview
Women in the U.S. were not allowed to finance real estate purchases without a husband or male co-signer until the 1970s.
While women dominate the ranks of Realtors, property managers and interor designers, they comprise less than 15% of the construction industry, and one-third of the mortgage brokerage industry.
Three secretaries of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development have been women.
Some statistics from today
65% of all Realtors are female
61.9% of property managers are female
14% of construction industry professionals are female
27% of architects are female
83% of interior designers are female
20% of homebuyers are single females
