If you want to sell military and/or spaceopera SF, you need to sell to men, and men don't buy that shit from women. So those women either have to have made a big name from other channels, or else have to sell as "James Tiptree" or "C Perry".
If you want to sell to horny frustrated housefraus and single women, and make a phat stakk of ca$h, your best bet is romance where dowdy girl gets to fuck Chad. Your chances are higher if you pretend to be a woman (ywnbaw) than if you post under your own name Rajiv Vishnuparam (which I assume it is, OP).

Women used male names not because they couldn't get published otherwise like many modern authors using female pen names do, but because nobody took women seriously as authors of serious literature.

Indian names are so disgusting to read.
