Well, I did my first Le Mans in 1992 and, whilst not being very photogenic, I am certainly a "Lady" (or at least of the female persuasion)! And Bill marshalled with ladies at Pau in 1989/90.
I do know that later on in the '90s I discovered to my disgust that only men could marshal at Monaco - is this maybe causing a misunderstanding as to who was/is allowed to marshal where in France - is it really just a Monte Carlo thing?
When our French Chef de Post told me in '92 that "as a woman you will not go onto the track", Bill tried to explain this attitude away by stating "After all, Monsieur Chauvin - he was a Frenchman".
C'est la vie, n'est ce pas?
