Precisely. The Ring would use anyone to try and get back to its master, and it always seems to have tailored the proffered temptation to suit the individual. With Gollum it seems to have been its basic appearance as a shiny, possibly valuable item; with Sam it was the thought of turning the plateau of Gorgoroth into a garden; and with Bilbo it was mainly the ability to disappear at will.

The Ring picked on some element in the holder's personality and worked on it, and that works irrespective of gender.
