Which makes sense, in a way, as I don't recall the Tokugawa era or Japanese society in general at the time being particularly egalitarian towards women (I'm not a history or sociology buff, so take that with a grain of salt).
Just to help a bit with this bit here, your quest-giver in the 60-70 SAM quests is a female member of the Sekiseigumi. She doesn't seem to get treated any differently due to her gender from what I've seen so far (SAM 66 at this point), so I don't know how much of a minority women are in the group or how much egalitarianism is happening.
