Are women ever the breadwinners in marriages?

It's quite a tricky question :D

The first answer is "yes!"

But then I started to analyze. Between my friends only one couple has a househusband. The reason is always based on finances. Men still are earning more (comparing the same qualifications and position).

It's a known fact. In different countries this gap is different. Also it differ based on occupation.

So yes, many women work and develop their careers being co-providers. But not all of them can be a sole provider.

Yes. And even the women who are not making as much as their husband are typically working as many hours as him.

Yes. Its a very small proportion though but they do exist.

I make more money than my husband, if that is what you mean.
