Hummm. Not convinced that CA fits within the Ernaldan path, and Issaries even less so. Ernalda's path is not simply 'Woman', it is 'Mother' and 'Wife'. I'm probably just over applying nunish imagery, but I don't see Healer-EarthMother being an immediate combo. I would assume that Chalana Arroy's initiates were part of the 15%.
Issaries, even more so. Trolling off with a merchant caravan isn't what a good mother does. Part of the 15%.

Vinga is probably the one of the larger parts of the FEMALE 15%, but since that only makes up 7.5% of the ADULT non-85%ers, and given that you've got Chalana Arroy, Issaries, Lhankor Mhy, Eurmal [for some reason I keep meeting female tricksters], Babeester Gor and the rest to deal with, I'd say 'less than 5%' would be entirely reasonable. 'Far less?' Boarderline.
