Here's the witch with the eyepatch, on p. 131 of the US hardback edition, Ch. 7:
A little farther along, a witch with a patch over her eye was talking over the top of her cubicle wall to Kingsley Shacklebolt.
My take on the WW is that it's always been more gender-egalitarian than the Muggle world, as one of the first Ministers of Magic was a witch, back when Muggle women in Britain were still property of their husbands. And while there is no direct canon evidence to contradict that Tonks was the only woman in her Auror class, there is no evidence to confirm it either.
I think this is largely a matter of viewpoint; I tend to be a "glass half full" reader of evidence in that if it's not contradicted by canon that it could exist.
