Although the only known Kithriarch (and his chosen successor) were male, there is nothing to indicate a woman could not hold this title. However, it is strongly implied that only a woman could be a Housekeeper, and as the roles of Housekeeper and Kithriarch go hand-in-hand, Kithriarch most likely was a role filled only by men.
