Why Are There So Many Women on the US Olympic Fencing Team

I am pretty new to the sport, but I am looking forward to watching some of the fencing competitions that take place this summer in Beijing? One think I don’t understand, however, is why are there so many women on the US Olympic Fencing team compared to the number of men? I thought that there were a certain number of “seats” for each style of fencing, but obviously this is not correct or there would be the same number of men and women. How do they determine how many get to go to the Olympics? Apparently, I need to do some more research.
