Interesting article from the right period:

There are also a lot of women in the Soviet Strategic Rocket Forces although again they are mainly in technical jobs.
According to the article you'd likely see two types of females in the Soviet military:
Specialists like medics and technicians who are highly competent in their trades but less able in combat skills
Raw recruits drawn up at the height of the manpower crisis: many will be dead or sent to the Chinese front. As a lot of them would be in the rawest units and these are the units that were most likely to turn marauders, I wouldn't like to speculate on what happened to the female draftees when the units mutinied.
