It is probably because a lot of campaigns focus heavily on women's issues (abortion, gender pay gap, etc...). The fact that the electorate was about 60% female in some states in 2022, the year Roe v. Wade was overturned, confirms this for me.
Moreover, 60% of American women identify as feminists, as opposed to 40% of American men. Feminist causes (gender equality and LGBT rights) are hot-button issues as of now, which attracts feminists, who skew female.
TL;DR: Feminist issues (abortion and LGBT rights) attract more women to vote because more women are feminists than men.
