Duuude, I really need to get caught up with this series, I'm like 10 episode behind or something like that. I didn't even realise the Mandalorians were coming back! They had a kickass arc last time, not least because it was a way better take than the one that was currently ascendant in the rest of the expanded universe.
She's not the first female Mandalorian in the series, though. Mandalore is ruled over by a Duchess according to this cartoon to start with! However, I'm not sure, she might be the first female Mandalorian warrior (as opposed to civilian) to show up on the show/in the movies (in the show, Mandalore is a pacifist world with the Death Watch - the people showing up here - being a minority group that continues to follow their ancient warrior traditions). But if you count all the comics/novels/games, etc., then there are a fair few female Mandalorian warriors.
