It has more so to do with hand/palm length. Longer hands grip better than shorter ones (that and if you take 2 women of different heights and average builds then the taller one would likely have a greater muscle volume than the shorter one).
All of this really makes me wonder how powerfully average-build yet long handed women like Uma Thurman can grip. I would guess that she would grip around 50 kg per hand even without extra training.
