You can start by asking around in your own circle of aquaintance, and I'll bet that such research will make you quickly realize that hard stats will be very hard to discover, since in my circle, most of the women I know are married and though their household contains a desktop, the desktop is owned and operated by their husband, not them. In any official questionaire served to them however, they are probably asked whether their household has one, not whether they themselves are the primary user of one.
