Assistance with writing female characters

I am a first time fantasy writer. Currently I am working on the first installment of a (hopefully) 3-5 book series. My story has multiple protagonists, each with their own plotline which adds to the main plot of the series, and eventually their stories will intersect and they will work together. One thing that concerns me is that some of my characters are female. I have thought about this for a while, and even though I have never written a female protagonist before, I seriously want to include one, to address gender norms and equality, especially since one of my main antagonists are also female. I have been thinking of maybe even making two female protagonists, each one having a different plotline and developments, facing different problems, etc..

All I'm looking for is some basic do's-and-don'ts, general advice on writing females, and anything else you think might be relevant for me to know.

P.S. there will be romance in the story, but no smut or sexual content, so just to clarify, I am not asking for any advice on writing sexual content from a female perspective.
