Hi Tb,

There is much interest in this over recent years, as there should be. Here are some samples from around the wider Sangha. Several Sangha have added women ancestors to their ancestral remembrances ...

There have been several papers on the subject, for example

And several retreats and classes on the theme of women ancestors:
