Also in Black Madonna, characters can encounter the Czech 1AAB which has a female officer, but I assume that females in WP line units is a T2k thing.
I assume that women in the Warsaw Pact weren't as integrated into the military as they were in NATO, but I also assume that once the crap hit the fan and manpower losses were felt, more Warsaw Pact women would find themselves on the front lines similar to WWII where Russian women served as pilots, snipers, etc.

From memory it was a lot lower than in NATO, I will try and find what I can for you.
Your assumptions are all correct and I haven't come across any all female units outside of the Russian Revolution and Great Patriotic War (World War Two) (which even then included some mail officers in WW2).
