Is your spouse/partner bike-curious?

Most of these posts do refer to men getting women into riding. I don't know what the average woman's experience is but I do remember most girls of my age learning to ride a bike the same way as the boys. So it might not be about learning from scratch!

Yes, research generally shows that there's a massive drop-off in cycling once children hit their teenage years, across both genders, but more so among girls than boys. The causes are the usual suspects--gender stereotyping etc. (However, of course, very few boys cycle through their adolescence to adulthood in this country, too--for them, a different kind of gender stereotype kicks in, although apparently not as strongly.)
