No there are no female priests in the Roman Catholic Church. A priest represents Jesus on the Alter and a woman cannot do that. Religious women can become nuns but not priests.

Which churches permit same-sex marriage?

I cannot speak for all denominations, but many Protestant denominations allow women priests or ministers. The three that most people would know about are 1. The United Reformed Church (including Presbyterian and Congregationalist) that has had women ministers for decades. 2. The Methodist Church that also has had women ministers for decades. 3. The Anglican Church (which includes the Episcopalians in the USA) that also allows women priests, and, in some Anglican churches, women bishops too. The founder Church of the Anglican communion of Churches, the Church of England, has had women priests since the 1990s, and is currently exploring the consecration of women bishops. There are many other churches that have women leaders (eg the Salvation Army) although they are not regarded as 'ordained' in the same sense as the above three churches.
