Women self defense – Is Wing Chun only for Women?

Women self defense?
1) I have heard that Wing Chun was made by a woman and thus is only good for women and children, is this true?

2) If so why do I see the majority of its Grandmasters and Master’s as Men?

3) Lastly I see that Hong Kong Airline Attendants are learning the close range combat Wing Chun, and that the Wing Chun Style came from Grandmaster Ip Man (man) and has been passed down to men and women.  How does Wing Chun use power, and close range in a self defense situation that differs from other styles?
