Why their were no women in the fellowship

Aren't cats supposed to have come from Mordor?

"I fear that to me Siamese cats belong to the fauna of Mordor..." ~J.R.R Tolkien, Letters #219

How about one of Pippin's sisters for the fourth hobbit? (Pearl, Pimpernel, or Pervinca)

I don't think this is why Tolkien excluded females from the Fellowship, but it's a darn good reason anyway. At regular points in the journey, the females would be *coughcough* indisposed. And believe me, it sucks to be out camping and trudging when you're *coughcough* indisposed. So, even if any women had the opportunity to go, I don't think they would choose to.
