Unless you're referring to a certain type of fiction, I don't actually think females were allowed to be Ninjas. It was a male occupation, and beyond that, a peasant one, a daimyo (Lord) or even a minor noble would be dishonored by a Ninjas sneaking tactics, therefore peasants, men with little honor to begin with, are the only ones that were trained as Ninjas.

Women were, as far as I can tell, never allowed to anything beyond the purely domestic (Except, of course, learning to fight with spears and staves, which was considered to be the one fighting art a female should be allowed to learn, so that she can defend her home when her husband is away.). It was common, usually essentiall, for them to be skilled tea-mistresses, as a part of their duty, but thats about as far is it went.

But then, I'm neither an expert or even someone who has dedicated too much time to the subject.

Fantasy stuff here, :P

Thanks, question's been answered
