This company is called Story Bundle and they sell book and comics collections. A current collection is called Women in SciFi, it's curated by Kristine Kathryn Rusch and features books, novellas, collections, and songs by the likes of Vonda McIntyre, Cat Rambo, Nancy Kress, Linda Nagata, Catherine Asaro, Judith Tarr, and others.
This deal is available for another 11 days. There are two differences between this site and others. First, there is no charity. The funds are divided between the authors and the site, and you control the split. Second, they wisely have them available as a single downloaded zip, so much easier to get all the content. Everyone gets a single file of MOBIs and Epubs. So that's pretty convenient.
$15 gets you everything.

I learned of this bundle via a guest post on Charles Stross' blog by Judith Tarr about the invisibility of women in scifi, which has turned in to quite a discussion, including people getting red cards and banned by Charles for churlish behavior.
I looked over my lists of what I've read since 2012 and threw it in to a spreadsheet, and of 80 books 90% have been by male authors. It's not entirely representative of my reading as I know I've read a lot of women authors in the past, like all of Bujold's Vorkosigan series several times, and they didn't happen to fall in the window of my record-keeping, but I'm pretty sure that number wouldn't change by more than 5% if I could accurately go back further.
