No Buddha is a female.Every Buddha was a male.

Answer:

It partly depends on your interpretation of Buddhahood. Mahayana Buddhism more commonly sees the path of a bodhisattva as a compliment to enlightenment. A Buddha is an individual who has achieved Enlightenment such as the Sakyamuni Buddha or the Amitabha Buddha. A Bodhisattva is a person who has achieved Enlightenment or Buddhahood, but has vowed to return to the world and the cycle of death and rebirht to aid all sentient beings on their paths to Buddhahood. Kuan Yin (Bodhisattva of compassion) is a female Bodhisattva known in China as Kuan Yin, in Japan as Kannon, and in Korea as Kwanseum Bosal.
