A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

I'll recommend a few from different genres:

Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade (later FE games also allowed the player to choose between male and female)
Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia (or Bloodstained: RotN for a newer, but aging, game)
A Hat In Time (not sure if this is really that old but it's an amazing platformed)
any Touhou game
Life Is Strange (again, not sure if you'd consider this old)

If you accept games where you fully create the character, you've got a ton of RPGs. Baldur's gate, elder scrolls, arcanum, fallout.

Eien no Filena on the SNES/SFC (it was Japan-only but it's been fan-translated).

Not only is the protagonist a woman - that fact is repeatedly plot-relevant.

Cult: Heretic Kingdoms

Fantastic RPG game, with a badass female protagonist.

Wet is a fun game if you can handle the loading screens.

Super Hang-On had a female protagonist but you only found out if you beat the hardest arcade mode

A bit late to the thread, but I just wanted to say Beyond Two Souls recently had its 10 year anniversary, if that counts as old.

Broken Age - point & click
Little Dew - ARPG/Zelda-like
most RPGs with character selection (Elder Scrolls, Mount & Blade)
Raven's Hike - puzzle/platforming
Shantae - platformer

I don't think anyone has mentioned this yet.
