Can women become witchers?

While in books we don't meet any female witchers we also don't find any reason of why women can't be witchers. At least not in just a process of becoming one.

First thing is that in books Ciri calls herself “wiedźminka” (female form of wiedźmin, witcher) and noone thinks twice about it. It’s important to mention that in Polish every noun has gender. And discusion about female forms is really intense. 

Second thing is that when Geralt brings Ciri to Kaer Morhen it’s obvious for everyone that they COULD make witcher out of her. That’s even what Triss thinks at the very begginging. 

It’s important to mention that in books witchers are still able to create new ones. They still have all the potions, still know recepies. It’s just that most of the witchers that knew how to do it were killed and wizards and sorceresses didn’t really wanna help them. So it was obvious that if there is a child in Kaer Morhen it means that the child will become a witcher. After all it’s what Geralt says:

See? Of course it is mentioned that Ciri was the first girl in Kaer Morhen. But it wasn’t the only witcher’s keep that ever existed. And as it’s important to say that while Continent is not based on Poland, the society thinks the same as it does in reall world. That women (even if we proof million times that we are just as able to fight and kill as men are) are weaker and shouldn’t fight and they should give birth and take care of home and children. So it would be a great reason why we don’t meet female witchers. Witchers were monster killers. Strong and emotionless. Covered in scars. Doesn’t feel much girly like, does it? 

Here Triss mentions how the process of becoming a witcher means changing whole metabolism and hormons. She was scared that what they gave Ciri would change how she looks, especially her secondary sexual characteristics and ability to get pregnant. And Triss is a powerful sorceress and can’t have children herself because of that. So how would society react if there greedy witchers would turn delicate girls into monster slayers? Also how men would reaact if they had to ask women for help. 

With that in minds let’s go back to Kaer Morhen. The witchers didn’t really know how Ciri, as a girl, was different than boys but did train her. Do you think they would do it, and even give her infamouse mushrooms to eat if there never was a female witcher before?

That is propably the best part of whole saga. Triss is the one that tell them that as a girl Ciri has a period. Them, as a men that were rised by other men and naver had longer realtonship with women that actually bleed every month. And their reactions weren’t like “oh gods, it’s a girls, we can’t do this to her she’s WOMAN”. No, it were “gods, we’re idiots. of course she can’t train when she’s on her period”.  

(btw I love how Sapkowski described that girls are taught to be ashamed of having periods. and that they can cry when they get first period. that shit is scary!)

Also it was never mentioned that only boys were trained. It always was children. 

Here it’s even highlined that the child that survived was male. And it’s a Child Surprise. Not Son Surprise. So I think that it’s save to assume that someoone could become a witcher no matter their gender. But they would just have to remamber that they HAVE TO treat girls in other way. 

My theory is that most popular Trials were based on what works for men. On male hormons, male bodies. And as trials were dangerouse it’s easy to assume that girls had higher death rate if whole proceduere was dedicated for men. Honestly, it’s a problem with modern medicine because it’s designed for male patiens. 

A little off canon the School of Cat is mentioned as one that trained female witchers. And it makes total sense! Trials were a little different for every school. And Cats were trained as fast, agile. Perfect as hitmans. Of course it sounds like something that would works for women. In my theory they could create witcher version of Black Widows! And in my head it makes total sense. What do you think?

And of course I didn’t come up with this whole thing because I’m thinking about writing a story with my female witcher OC... No, not at all.
