TSR was a company formed as Tactical Studies Rules in 1972 by Gary Gygax and Don Kaye (and others later) to publish the rule set for the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game.
TSR also published a number of rules sets for other periods including the American west, World War II, and the Middle Ages (Chainmail, the rules set from which D&D evolved).
TSR published a number of early roleplaying games including Dungeons & Dragons, Boot Hill, Gamma World, Top Secret, Empire of the Petal Throne, Star Frontiers, Indiana Jones and Marvel Super Heroes.

 Warriors of Mars Review
Both rules sets were published in 1974, with Gary Gygax as the lead author, and both were an attempt to write rules to allow games about pulp fantasy or science-fantasy using miniatures rules as a base.
If one was going to use these rules as a basis for role playing, there's no reason a female PC couldn't be as powerful as a male, although the attitudes of the Barsoomian peoples may need some adjusting.
Rather than go into the details of the miniatures game (which seems to be fairly basic and workable, although we are poor judges of miniatures rules), we will comment on the suitability of these rules for role playing.

 RPG World - Gary Gygax Interview
The rules are guidelines… The player can create just about any sort of a character he wants to have with this system.
So I wrote up a set of man-to-man rules, then rules for jousting, and finally a fantasy supplement with dragons, heroes, magic swords and spells; and eventually those were published as Chainmail.
And he left the rules with me and I said, “I will expand these, they need to cover more historical settings.” I turned two pages of rules into about four.
