As already mentioned, In Bruges in 1480 a surprising 25% of the guild of book illuminators were women. One could therefore speculate that a number of roughly the same magnitude were employed as scribes in the workshops. This at least does not seem unrealistic.
Of course, this says nothing about a possible female authorship.
