In Buddhism, the color of robes worn by monks can vary by tradition and region. In many Theravada Buddhist countries, both male and female monks typically wear saffron or ochre robes, which may appear brownish. However, in some Mahayana traditions, such as those in East Asia, monks and nuns may wear robes of different colors, including brown, depending on their specific sect. Therefore, while both men and women may wear brown robes in certain contexts, it is not universally the case across all Buddhist traditions.

Did women run any abbeys?

An abbey is simply a building where monks or nuns live. Typically, they live in isolation from the world. Since an abbey could be home to either monks or nuns (but never both) than who ever the mother superior was would be in charge of running the abbey. Please note that even a mother superior would not be above even the simplest of deacons. They are not members of the clergy and have no authority over them, even if they are in charge of an abbey. The same is true for monks.
