The choice of the word female in the original feels intentional. Using a more clinical term like that instead of “girl” or “woman“ can change the whole feel of the sentence.

Isn't it far more likely that he used the "female" because "formidable female" sounds great whereas "formidable woman" is more bland.

These are not exactly historical books. They are the kind of books you have no reason to read if they don't sound pleasant to today's ears.

Which is okay, to me it is OK if these books are not read. There are enough other books. But, people selling them will want then to sound like people talk today.
