If you are still looking...Or if anyone else is looking for women's songs:

Somewhere at home, I have a book entitled 'My song is my own' which is full of women's songs.

Mostly contemporary though, from what I recall. When I get home, I will try and remember to look at it.

Some traditional ones:

Our captain cried all hands
My Johnny was a shoemaker
Lowlands of Holland
Banks of the Nile
High Germany
