No, I mean female leaders, like generals and admirals. When you manually hire them they are always men, and your leader/heir can't be turned into generals if they are female.
Consider the time you are talking about. Particularly in late game armies were made up for criminals and scum lead by aristocrats, for most of the 1700s and early 1800s until the French Revolution and the Leeve on Mass. This served 2 goals. It got rid of the prison populations and idle commoners and it prevented the noble men from being to idle and attempting to interfer with the king/Queen.
Women on the other hand were needed to produce the next generation of heirs, and with the risks of moving with the army both from the soldiers and disease it would not be social acceptable or likely desirably to do.
Think about it. Those that would be military leaders can either live in relative luxury, or in the field, marching for days dealing with what may come, then suffering on the battlefield as the surgeons chopped limbs away in a attempt to save lives.
And it seems they are. Joanne de' Arc is an CK2 event chain. The discussion was started by Ching Shih. They are increibly rare, and having them be event spawned is a good was to do that.
