There were some, although definitely not a lot. Probably they add an option of playing as woman to allow you to have more customization options. It's better then force me playing as woman each time I choose Scout class (as it was in Bf1).
I don't think that there was a problem with that in the Russian battles, because the Russians did force women to fight. I would prefer they do the same situationally in bfv, because adding a woman soldier as a hero in the Japanese front completely goes against the culture WWII Japan had. BFV just needs to go back to uniforms and maybe some very small customization, but that's a different topic.
This topic is surviving long time :-)
Saw some historical movies about Iwo Jima.
Some civilians woman where available and fought a battle.
I like the hairstyles now though and the screaming they had in 2018 / beginning 2019 seems to be gone.
