StackOverflow has just published their developer survey. There are close 
to 6% female coders who answered their survey:

 
http://stackoverflow.com/research/developer-survey-2016#developer-profile-gender

That link somewhat answers the "woman" versus "female" use as well (they 
use "female").

"Female" does not sound that bad to my American-English-tainted Turkish 
ears but something related has been happening in Turkey: Somehow the 
society decided that "kadın", the equivalent of "woman" was impolite and 
started using "bayan", almost the equivalent of "lady". Imagine suddenly 
starting to hear things like "lady scientist" instead "woman 
scientist"... We humans are crazy. At least some of us use D. :p
