There may have been some female rangers, but i recently read a paper about the number of the rangers there were and one of the points it touched on is the nature of the rangers, basically it's conclusion was that rangers were not exactly random Dunedain who just happened to pass trough, most of the Dunedain were not in fact Rangers, as we know Dunedain live in Angle, but they were once rulers of kingdom of Arnor, once Arnor fell Dunedain king really had no way of enforcing his laws in variousl holds like Shire, instead he formed a crack group of warriors who would act as sort of border guard and maintain his claim to authority, so when as such time came that Arnor was restored he would have a rightful claim that Dunedain never stopped protecting there former holds (which basically was the basis of medieval contract, lords provided protecton in exchange for work that pesants did) whole it is concivable that some women may have joined the rangers (like Eowyn joined Rohirim) i think it would be rather uncomon occurence, seeing as not all Dunedain, in fact probobly comparatively few Dunedain, would actually be Rangers per se.
