  In German it is spelled "der Stern" which is masculine.

  I didn't know that in German. In any case, in Latin star is a feminine noun and I believe that the authors of the VM are cultured people who knew Latin.
  
  I see no other reason to draw so many women if not for their identification with the fixed stars. It is the same logic that underlies drawing the sun as a man and the moon as a woman, something that we also see in Voynich.

  Unfortunately (for language learners) there is not much of an agreement between Germanic and Romance languages about the gender of nouns.
  
  Between German and (say) French, Sun and Moon are swapped, for example.

  Sometimes I think that in the next century, if the VM remains undeciphered, someone will ask the same question as me: Isn't that glyph that so closely resembles the letter c and that is repeated so often in different shapes simply the symbol of the Moon?
  
  In a book with so many astronomical diagrams and in which the image of the Moon is repeated so much, perhaps this question ends up on someone's mind.
