The who, when and where of what has been written

Question: Is there a resource that categorizes existing fiction works by themes based on the authors' demographics (e.g. gender, age, historical period, geographical location, etc...)?

For instance, I was curious to determine whether statements like the following ones are true or false:

• younger writers tend to be over-represented in fantasy rather than drama;
• authors with scientific background write more science-fiction;
• women's writings include more pregnancies compared to men's;
• NorthAmerican writers use more guns/armed threats in their fiction compared to Brits and Scandinavians.
