There is no physical equivalent of a eunuch for females. Women who have had their ovaries removed are sterile but can still function sexually. Male eunuchs also lose their secondary sexual characteristics such as body hair and get high voices. Nothing similar happens to a woman without ovaries.

Well, not really. The concept of eunuch so far as I am aware is part of an imperial system of ruler-ship to try to prevent the Empress/s from becoming pregnant by anybody other than the Emperor.
The term "Female Eunuch" is the title of a book by Germaine Greer, suggested that women participating in a nuclear suburban family represses women rendering them "eunuchs".
Well that's what I think anyway.
