I don't see a reason why they shouldn't, as AFAIK women can participate in rituals.

Section: Recognition of Women as Freemasons

In short, in some places women are accepted and in some they are not. As the Unified Grand Lodge of England does not recognise women as freemasons, women are not officially capable of reaching the 33rd degree. However, where women are recognized (i.e in Continental Freemasonry), women should be able to reach the 33rd degree.
