I think it's because of all the demands placed on women in the modern age. We are expected to have careers, take care of our kids, and manage the household. Our brains respond to this demand by evolving to a higher capability. It's no secret that women are the driving force of society anyway. It's nice to see that our abilities are being recognized.

Probably cause women ARE smarter then men have always been smarter. Dumbest thing we did was let men run this country, look where that got us..

Maybe because woman stepped up more and want more. Men are just slow at some point. Just think about it....
