You question, while true to an extent, is a little misleading.
Yes, women do remember some things better than men. On the other hand, men remember other things better than women.
Women tend to remember things like dates, conversations names etc. better than men while men tend to remember sequences of events, faces, configurations etc. better.
The reason for this (as one of the other responders pointed out) is the result of evolution and adaptation. Women have long had the responsibility of child rearing and housekeeping which requires a level of multitasking and communications related skills that most men did not require. On the other hand, men had to learn directions, how things are put together and visual cues in order to survive and provide for his family.
Because of these roles in life, men and women adapted and became more practiced doing different things. In the long run, women became much better at communicating with other people and also developed the ability to keep track of many things that were going on at the same time. This is where the wives's tale (no pun intended) of women having better memories originates.

Not remember better but it is they remember things to do with social life while men remember other things like the compression ratio of his car.
Females of this animal are much better aocialy than the males are.
Men are tuned in on other things and don't get so involved in the social do's and son'ts
Not scientific but from watching people for many years.

women are biologically hard wired to multi-task better than men. it was essential for our survival as a species. child rearing and all the issues involved with it put various demands on women...one could infer that memory of women is better for similar reasons. however, i have not found any solid empirical evidence that suggests women have better memory ability.

i'm a historic previous buff. you're stereotyping... this does not persist with to all adult males. inspite of the undeniable fact that, adult males are plenty greater in all possibility to pay interest on the activity to hand - it is going back to the time of the cave adult males whilst they weren't hectic approximately what befell until now - they have been attempting to no longer get killed by making use of the saber the teeth tiger.

Woman remember better than man because man are care less with anniversaries, birthdays, meetings and all kind of things. Woman care more because their human instinct guides her to remember all sort's of stuff. So, it's not that woman remmember more but they care enough to remember, and also if more man cared more about things they would remember maybe even better than woman.

im not sure if this is very scientific but i think its because the only thing they can remember is the last girl they checked out and where they keep their food. or maybe its because men dont think? hmm... im a man so i should know right? wrong! because i cant remember. :)

Women] have improved cognitive storage, but women jumble up those memories more than men so they sometimes have imaginative recollections.
