Oedipa and Females

I have noticed that up that the only other mention of women in the Crying of Lot 49 are as groupies for Miles and groupies for the rock band at The Scope. Last week, I discussed a potential that Oedipa may be Pierce and I still partially think that can be, but perhaps this is a play about femininity and a reflection that women can fix the world and make it less chaos whether through sex (Metzger) or knowledge (it seems like Oedipa is discovering something about the Trystero). It seems that Pierce has always had a high opinion of Oedipa, which is why she is tasked with receiving his will and estate. The reader does not have any reason to think that Oedipa is the narrator because the story is told in third person omniscent p.o.v, and there has been no direct nod  by the narrator to the fact that every notable character with the exception of Oedipa is male, so perhaps whoever the narrator is has a desire to make woman seem distinct and powerful. However, on the flip side the narrator can have the opposite opinion and view woman as one who just follow the orders of man into weird and bizarre areas where abstract plays and copious amounts of powergrids are the norm.
