Feebee,
Yes, women do fight. We have three women in our group who regularly fight with swords. Two of then donning full suits of armour to do so. One of them, my girlfriend, also takes part in full contact tournaments along with myself and about 20 other people from around the country.
In the middle ages it was not very common at all for women to take part in battles or tournaments, however it was not unknown and there are several accounts of female combatants.
Within re-enactment there are quite a few women who do archery or man the gun crews.
