Sauron maybe just wasn't into corrupting Queens - or considering what Tolkien's female nobility seem to be like (except for Tar-Ancalime, but she's the one exception) maybe none of the Queens were promising enough - read greedy and malicious - to be worth investing one of the nine rings in.

I would surmise that it had more to do with the paucity of female rulers rather than a particular inclination toward corrupting one gender over another.
(Hmm, was that pompous enough?  )
