Unfortunately, that isn't the case. Women appear in comics, but as it's still a market of boys and grown men, they still play second fiddle. You can write stories about them, sure - if we look at the last few years, Zatanna, Hawkgirl, Supergirl, Batgirl, Catwoman, Chase, plenty of others - they had there own series, and were pretty successful. But my point remains: they are rarely introduced as solo characters without an existing legacy.
