I can tell you, however, that it is easy to discern our male and female fighters in Viking fighting kit.
Though of course living in the modern world they mey have altered their gear slightly to emphasise femininity, I dunno, much and many looks similar in both genders.
We have no steppe peoples.
BTW, in a woman's grave on Gotland (I think it was), two swords was found. Does that mean she fought? Maybe, maybe it was merely regalia of a station she held. Does it mean a large proportion of Viking fighters were women? Probably not...
See; archeological clues are tricky to interpret and make evidence...
