Here, we show how to select a gender for the voice (VoiceInformation.Gender) by using either the first female voice (VoiceGender) found, or just the default system voice (SpeechSynthesizer.DefaultVoice), if no female voice is found.

using (SpeechSynthesizer synthesizer = new SpeechSynthesizer())
{
    VoiceInformation voiceInfo =
        (
            from voice in SpeechSynthesizer.AllVoices
            where voice.Gender == VoiceGender.Female
            select voice
        ).FirstOrDefault() ?? SpeechSynthesizer.DefaultVoice;

    synthesizer.Voice = voiceInfo;

    // Windows.Media.SpeechSynthesis.SpeechSynthesisStream
    stream = await synthesizer.SynthesizeTextToStreamAsync(text);
}
