Was one of the nine female?

[Gorwingel]

To be really technical, "Kings of Men" could include a female. Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain were referred to as the "Catholic Kings" both in English and Spanish

That is true, but I think the Kings of Men were mainly based on the british royal traditions where this was not true, but Tolkien was Catholic so you never know.

With the number of females in the book I would highly doubt that he would try to sneak in a female Ringwraith.
