There are quite a few female co-drivers in ARC. Sue Evans, Coral Taylor and Julia Rabett are three of the bigger names.
Recently in WRC I can remember Tina Thorner who was a very good co-driver. But both Thorner and Price are no longer in the WRC.
It is a shame there aren't more drivers in the championship... and co-drivers... and engineers for that matter.

There was a Citroen woman last year, seemed quite high up, always used to stand with Frequelin.
Although, might have been his PA or something.

Just bringing this back up - David Coulthard today on the BBC Sport website saying he believes there's no reason for women not to be in F1 which is a great thing to hear from a "top line" driver. Fiona Leggate is going well in the BTCC and Susie Stoddart in the DTM. Hopefully the WRC will get some mroe female drivers, what with Loeb boring us all it'd give us sometihng to look out for!

I believe they are fine to enter F1/WRC but only if they are competitive. There have been a couple of failures down the years. If anyone is going to break this mould it would be Danica Patrick. Katherine Legge has kicked off well in Champ Cars and that is just American F1 (basically).
In DTM, Susie Stoddart has done much better than Vanina Ickx, and if I'm right was in the top 10 at round 1 in Hockenheim.
