If only women had any physiological advantages.

Working in confined spaces is easier for the average sized woman than for the average sized man.

This is why I've always thought manned space programs should be designed primarily for petite women.

Not even joking.

For planetary colonization programmes you want women anyway, because sending sperm up with women results in doubling the colony size any point in time from the second generation on (when comparing with sending up equal amounts of men and women, for the same total amount of people on the trek).

The petite women will need to wear thick lead chastity belts to protect their ovaries from radiation though.

Like making a baby?
