In particular, the questline where you have to rescue fallen knights, but it's not limited to them: there are a number of female Ishgardian knight NPC's, in battle and otherwise. It's just that because they tend to wear the chain hauberk models, it's hard to pick them out unless you're familiar with actual elezen naming conventions (some names don't -look- very feminine..) or in the case of unnamed NPCs, pretty observant. It gets harder if they're wearing the coif model that includes a face guard.
I agree with this overall sentiment, though - it does seem to vary based on region and/or culture. The most glaringly obvious difference being that between Seekers of the Sun and Keepers of the Moon.
Ah, thank you for pointing this out. It never crossed my mind before but once Thaarus mentioned it I realised that I only remember seeing males... or so I thought, but I guess you are right that their armour causes it to be deceiving ^^
