If you require an understanding of sub categorizing understanding the human condition you'd find that just as men don't capture women's full experience, a white woman wouldn't capture a black woman's experience
beyond this, a black woman's writing in modern america wouldn't nearly be the same individual experience as a black woman living in 18th century ottoman rule.
This hypothetical 18th century black woman writer also wouldn't have the same understanding of life as her neighbor, also a black 18th century ottoman, but you'll see I hope that you've been looking at the increasingly narrow experiences of demographics and then individuals, which of course aren't shared, and if your goal is to get the 'human condition' (something that's universal among humans) it's more important to find a writer who can express themselves well rather than requiring an understanding of specific's groups

If your ability to identify with them is reduced by their male perspective then it probably reduces how successful they'll be able to express themselves to you, so if this isn't a troll thread and you really have a difficult time understanding what they mean because of their perspective then you should read something else, but it happens that historical writing is quite male dominated
If you'd like you can try to go back and re-write hegel, kant, and so on from a female perspective but unless your interested in doing it for your own sake, I don't think there's much demand for such a translation among any consumer group
