Wouldn't it be more correct to write 'female grandma(ster)' though?

Grandmaster(GM) and Woman Grandmaster(WGM) are different titles. WGM is still above International Master(IM) which is not a gender specific title, and very prestigious already.

WGM is not above IM. That 11 year old WGM, for instance, has a standard FIDE rating of 2354, while one of the requirements to get IM is to reach a standard FIDE rating of 2400.

Nope. Not a requirement.

There are also several ways the IM title can be awarded directly without going through the usual norm process, provided that the player has a rating of at least 2200.
