Are you interested in a particular type of fantasy? Both traditional sword & sorcery & sci-fi have always been viewed as fantasy geared towards males.
You have all the Conan the Barbarian stuff by Robert E. Howard and others who continued writing the Character after Howard's death. You have all of JRR Tolkien's Middle Earth & Lord of the Rings related books. There's George RR Martin's A Song of Ice & Fire/Game of Thrones related books. Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan, John Carter of Mars/Barsoom & Pellucidar novels. Tarzan in the books is nothing like movie Tarzan/TV versions and spends a lot of time in various lost/hidden civilizations in Africa or Pellucidar aka the Hollow Earth/Earth's Core. A can give more examples but those are some of the more classic or popular sword & sorcery type fantasy series off the top of my head.
