There are no female authors of the Bible likely because of this verse:

1 Timothy 2:12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man;

If a female authored any book of the Bible then it would be equivalent to teaching authority over a man. In addition, culturally speaking, a female author of the bible would have been a hindrance to the gospel in ancient times.

There are two books (one biblical, one not but used in Catholicism) named after females - Esther and Judith. These were not written by females but by men.
