Does it count if she's the author of the book?

I don't know. I've given up for looking for a gf years ago. I'm 24 and I'm at the point where I realize my interests and that of most women just don't line up. Most women don't want to talk about philosophy or more abstract things and their applications in life. It's not a shot at women. I'm just being realistic and trying to find my own way in life at this point. Doesn't help that I'm Catholic and people in my diocese talk a lot about vocations and shit, especially marriage and being a single 30-something year old is going to make you bait for gossip but I don't mind. I just want to live in peace, give back to my church, study what I love and make friends through my studies as well. Maybe that special woman is somewhere around the corner, but I don't see it. Women philosophers are and always were a rarity. I can understand why I have a hopeless crush for Edith Stein tbqh: she's the perfect woman for me but she's a nun and a martyr that died even before my father was born. At some point, you just have to count your losses and call it quits.
