It depends on whether you are discussing Orthodox Judaism or Liberal Judaism.
Orthodox Judaism
As mentioned in the Talmud (Shabbat 156b; Kallah 1:16), Jewish males cover their heads with a kippa (skullcap) and/or a hat, as a reminder of the presence of God. The Yiddish word for kippah, "yarmulkah," is a contraction of the Aramaic "yerei malkah": to be aware of the King.
Women are seen as naturally having less inclination to stray, so the custom of wearing a kippa does not obligate them.
Note that Jewish married women traditionally cover their hair (Talmud, Ketubot 72b). This is for the purpose of modesty - only her husband should see her beauty - since the hair is considered beautiful (Talmud, Berakhot 24a).
Liberal Judaism
Liberal Jewish women are given the choice as to whether or not they wish to wear the kippa. However, any Liberal Jewish woman who chooses to wear a kippa needs to do so consistently. Additionally, any Liberal Jewish woman who chooses to wear tefillin and tallit, must wear a kippa as well. (Since Orthodox women do not wear tefillin or tallit, this is not an issue for them.)

The hair is seen as a thing of beauty (Talmud, Berakhot 24a), not to be exposed to passers-by.
