regardless of the if/could/can't/wont debate on female astartes, in terms of the setting the imperium could definitely use them: the imperium doesn't have enough astartes to hold/defend what they have, so at the very least female astartes would double the number of astartes - 1 million female astartes would give the imperium a significant boost.
