Hi Magnus,
It appears that at least some of the women on your
list are not women.
Example from your list:
# {{User:Rich Farmbrough/ODNB entry|image=1|known for=army medical officer
and transvestite|born=c.1799|died=1865|forenames=James |surname=Barry}}
"transvestite" does, AFAIK, not qualify as "woman"; even if so, it
would be
more a transgender case?
If there are cases that are 'disputable', it may be an idea to take a
list to the LGBT noticeboard for confirmation. In the case of James
Barry, she lived as a man but was born a woman. As this is a
historical case, today's terminology (such as 'transgender') does not
fit well, but certainly Barry can be accurately identified as a woman
and is regularly quoted as having notability for being the first
British woman doctor, albeit by deception during her life time.
