The world record for women was set in 1988 by Florence Griffith-Joyner in a time of 10.49 sec. No one has even come close to that since. Anything under 11.00 for a woman is considered very good. Times under 10.90 are considered exceptional. Nesterenko, the winner in Athens, won with a clocking of 10.93 sec.
The world record for men is held by Tim Montgomery in a time of 9.78 sec. Anything under 10 seconds is fast, and under 9.90 is exceptional. Justin Gaitlin, the winner in Athens, ran in 9.85 sec.
If anything, I'd say the gap between men and women is widening.
