Females do not have prostate glands. A gland in females with similar characteristics to the prostate, previously called paraurethral or Skene's glands, connected to the distal third of the urethra in the prevaginal space has been considered by a few researchers as a "prostate-like" gland.

Yes, woman do have a prostate. It is called the Skene's gland. It is a lot smaller than the male version, but does assist the female in the same ways that the male's prostate does. It also secretes PSA, prostate specific antigen. Many researchers are getting away from calling it the "Skene's gland" and refering to it as the female prostate.
