It fills my heart with great sadness knowing that I will never journey as a wandering rōnin, dedicating my life to the path of the sword. Do you too, yearn for the ways of old, /jp/-kun?

Also, how much power and status did a female samurai hold? Forgive my ignorance!

Speculation exists that Kenshin was actually female. There are also the onna-bushi, of course. For the most part though, no, women were not warriors.

I thought the naginata was considered a female weapon or something. How'd it get that association without women warriors?

During the Edo Period, as the naginata became less useful for men on the battlefield, it became a symbol of the social status of women of the samurai class. A functional naginata was often a traditional part of a samurai daughter's dowry.
