No. Onna-bugeisha was what they were called which means female warrior, and are sometimes mistaken as samurai. In the feudal age the wives of the samurai were expected to support their husbands, their family, and defend the home. Much of the account of them is over shadowed or down-played, but these female warriors were great fighters. some of the most famous women: Tomoe Gozen, wife of Minamoto Yoshinaka and a fierce warrior very proficient with sword and bow; and Hojo Masako (1157-1225), wife of Minamoto Yoritomo and known as the "nun shogun". So in retrospect women were not referred to as a samurai but were warriors and fought in some battles
In ancient Japan, women as well as men were trained in ninjutsu. Female ninja, the kunoichi, were trained in a manner similar to their male conterparts. Psychology, intuition, personal manipulation, as well as direct physical means, replaced battlefield tactics. The kunoichi's most reliable fighting techniques were attacks to the weak points of the body, and her weaponry was mainly bladed. These female spies, with their emotional and intuitive natures heightened through sensitivity training, needed careful guidance to prevent them from actually falling in love with their targets or losing sight of the ultimate purpose for which they were fighting. In their own way, they were more deadly than the men.
