Yes in many ways there are but in many ways they are very much the same. For the most part the frames are built the same way however there are some women who can handle a heavier racquet and others that cannot for those that cannot Head introduced a racquet called the Airflow racquet they are significantly lighter and have a larger head size and it is built specifically for certain women. Whereas on many occasions women can play with mens racquets and essentially racquets that are meant for men can be played by women as well. The only significant difference is the weight distribution among the racquet and if your picky the color. Which I find that sometimes I like the coloring on certain womens racquets better then mens...

Depends, if you get a racket from the W Line from Wilson, yes because they are made for women with heavier sticks and bigger faces. A guys racket is normally smaller and probably a little lighter. But the W Line is about it, all other rackets go both ways, except juniors...

There are very few raquets that are specifically designed for the different sexes. Instead, racquets are developed with swing speeds in mind. High-powered racquets are made with old women and kids in mind while Low-powered racquets are made with athletic individuals with long and fast swings in mind.
Raquets are best described as unisex since lengths, frame types, materials, string types, etc. are not developed with a particular sex in mind. The only possible difference I can think of would be with the colors pink or purple -- which would likely deter many guys and are likely geared more towards women. Also, the heaviest raquets will appeal primarily to men -- but this is not to say that these raquets were designed with "men" in mind, but rather with someone who is stronger and has a fast swing speed.
But technically there is nothing that differentiates raquets between men and women. On the professional level in both tennis and raquetball, you can find many raquet models that are used by both men and women.

No difference. Measure your palm from the middle/ring finger slot where it joins your palm...across your palm past the meaty part of your thumb/palm, by your wrist. This is your optimal size. You may adjust grip size as your game improves. Down size if you have problems hanging on to the racket during intense play. This will increase the amount of skin you have on the grip. If you experience any pain across your knuckle's, you may have the grip to small and are in need of a larger grip. Blessings, Cyber

The only difference I can tell is the color. Some are shorter, some longer but they are basically unisex from what I can tell.

No not really, just colorings sometimes.
You can get oversized for beginners. Or other sizes for children sometimes.
