Yes there are dwarf women

Quote:
Dis was the daughter of Thrain II. She is the only dwarf-woman named in these histories. It was said by Gimli that there are few dwarf-women, probably no more than a third of the whole people. They seldom walk abroad except at great need. They are in voice and appearance, and in garb if they must go on a journey, so like to the dwarf-men, that the eyes and ears of the other peoples cannot tell them apart. This has given rise to the foolish opinio among Men that there are no dwarf-women and that the dwarves 'grow out of stone.'
