There are several Grinnell College archeology students who happen to be female and have performed flintknapping.
As for prehistory, it's very hard to tell exactly who knapped what in an archeological site, but I would say that there's no reason to believe that women were excluded from flintknapping. There was a division of labor between men and women in pretty much any prehistoric society (and any current one too, for that matter), but there was also overlap.
The Whittaker source in the links is from one of the preeminent archeologists on flintknapping, and he suggests that there is every reason to believe that women did a fair amount of knapping. (See pages 297-8 in the link.)

During the late neolithic age what did workers find inside of rocks when they heated them?
Workers in the late Neolithic age found that when they heated rocks, particularly flint, they were able to make it easier to shape into tools and weapons through a process called flintknapping. This discovery revolutionized tool-making methods and contributed to advancements in technology during that period.
Where was the knife made and why?
Knives are one of those things that came about by chance and is impossible to know where the first one was found. They was more found then they were made as the first knives were pieces of broken flint, rock, etc and uses were discovered for them such as skinning, whittling, etc. Eventually-they evolved as people discovered they could make the knives more suitable for use by the use of flintknapping.
How early man make tools?
Early humans made tools by using materials such as stone, bone, and wood. They would shape these materials by striking them against each other to create sharp edges or points. This process of intentionally shaping tools is known as flintknapping and it allowed early humans to hunt, prepare food, and create other items for survival.
