Siraui
In Sumatra, the siraui is easily concealed in the hair of women or folds of clothing. It is both a working knife and a self defense weapon. I do not think it is specific for women; merely one that is preferred.

The Sangi is often referred to as a "woman's knife" though men apparently use them as well.

The curved small knives from Indonesia, korambit, lawi ayam are typical woman knives.
