According to Halacha, women aren’t allowed to have certain types of leadership positions such as being a king. Devora and Chulda did not have postions that are forbidden for women.

Even though this halacha does not apply to goyim, it could possible that the reasons behind it do (depending what the reasons are).

For example, if the reason is that woman’s natural talents cause her to be someone who does not have the ability to be in a leadership position (since every quality has both a positive side and a negative side), this is something that would presumably apply to goyish women as well.

However, if the reason has something to do with the person themselves (meaning it wouldn’t be good for her as opposed to not being good for everyone else) then it would not apply.
