On the contrary, Hesse is working towards a very female perspective on life. I was delighted to see a man write the way he does.
The entire concept of reaching thought through feelings, instead of reaching feelings through thought is a very female way of operating. His books start from the traditional male way of thinking and gradually expand their way to the passive, expansive female way.
A woman may not be able to identify with the beginning but the end....the end makes you feel whole again - it achieves the perfect balance between male and female. I don't see why anyone should have any trouble identifying with that.
