Around 70GI is probably most useful if you're doing a mixture of flat stuff and low hills, but I prefer 66GI (44/16) for my particular commute, easier to spin up.
I'm not sure male/female is a huge factor in gearing, I guess a combination of fitness/cadence/strength to turn and resist the gear would probably be a bigger issue I'd have thought?
