Settlers are like Smurfs: there is only one female among them. Good luck finding her on the map!
ETA: Ok, here is an idea for female general who might not be overdone:
Cannot attack, troop capacity: 100, travel time to and from adventure island: 5 minutes.
Female geologist:
Search times halved, gets +1 level to a random skill which affects whatever she's sent out to find (i.e. not quality gold mine when searching for iron).
Female explorer:
Search times halved, +x% event resources during events. X may depend on the number of manuscripts/books/tomes she is skilled with.

I would love to see a female general, geologist and explorer. Great post.

+1 was one of the first things I noticed when i started playing. Bring on the female gens, geos and explorers!
+1 Lovely idea
Never noticed, but then I'm a guy and totally oblivious to anything!
Serious note, fully agree. This should be talked about a lot more than it is now. Great thread OP! Will keep bumping this

"Where are the women settlers?" was part of the Q&A at gamescom 2014, not much has changed since the reply was reported here: siedler-vision.de/2014/08/die-siedler-online-question-answer-am-16-08-2014-gc-2014/
A rough translation from the German via Google Trans:
Players do keep asking and it really is long overdue, especially since new characters keep being added, and keep being male.Where are the women settlers?
"The game was developed mainly by men, who simply did not think something like that. The women in the team strongly campaigned for the gradual introduction of women in the form of Quest NPCs or workers (brewery)."

Fairly certain there are a few others, but those popped up quickly.

If you look in the science buildings, there are women working in them
There are, aye. And new male generals, and new male explorers, and new male NPCs, and a new male geologist incoming.
Timing. And new male troops: [Dev Diary] XXL Level Cap Raise Pack post #5
