Thanks. Looks like about six percent of pilots overall in the U.S.
are female. About 3.5% of ATP pilots are female. Around 6.6% of
flight instructors are female.

For comparison, about 80.5% of flight attendants are female.

The total number of pilots is 609,737, representing just over 0.2% of
the population, or one person in 492.
