Henson studios was a bit better about casting women in non-Muppet show properties (Sesame Street, Fraggle Rock, etc) but the main Muppet Show primarily had male puppeteers performing female characters.

Honestly, after Miss Piggy and Skeeter, I'm not even sure who the female characters are. That lady in the band with Animal?

There was also Kathy Mullen, who played Gaffer the backstage cat, and Mokey on Fraggle Rock, and assisted Frank Oz with Yoda in TESB and ROTJ.

And wasn't that girl-pig in A Muppet Christmas Carol as one (or two?) of Miss Piggy/Kermit's daughters? Maybe not the character, but the puppet, at least? Skeeter needs to show up as a puppet.
