Hi Cathy,
You might want to look at the overlap with early women travellers and travel-writers who were to many extents the precursors of women anthropologists. There are several books in the Bod that you will be able to find easily.
Do also look at the work of Yezierskia who studied anthropology in NY and wrote a series of novels that were very popular and extremely critical about anthropology. Great for teaching.
And given you're in Oxford, have you asked Shirley Ardener?

I'm taking a guess that a military-style woman or robust explorer mentality would have been common. Also any early papers written by women which discuss the personal characteristics/qualities and attitudes they would have adopted would be great.
