I have yet to have a female GM.
Then again, I am GM for about 90+% of the game I am in, so there is a bit of a limiting factor...
I have run games with multiple female players, though, including one mini-campaign (6 episodes) where the women outnumbered the men at the table (3::2).

I think if this poll was broken down into cons vs. weekly gaming, the outcome would probably be different. The only time I have ever gamed with another chick is at a gameday, and she wasn't DMing. I have never tried my hand at DMing and considering everyone I game with has been doing it like 15+ years and I have only been doing it for 5, I don't think I would feel comfortable doing so.
Anyone who has been to a con or a gameday probably has not only gamed with a female, but may have also played in a female DM's game.
Wanted to make it the whole time to Gencon this year, but seeing as I will be just shy of 9 mos pregnant, that's not gonna happen. Hopefully a day trip though

I've never played under a female DM, but one of the female players in my old Planescape campaign did run some D&D games for my other players (I couldn't join them because I had a brand new daughter that was much more important to me ).
From what I heard elements of her games kind of disturbed the other players. She was (and probably still is) a very sweet person, but she had some sick (in a cool way) ideas that she threw into her games. The one I remember most is this weaving device that would slowly suck a living being into it, tortuously tearing apart his or her flesh, and weave the flesh into beautiful-looking tapestries to decorate the BBEG's home. And he had a LOT of tapestries.
Very cool idea, made all the more disturbing by coming from the mind of such a sweet person.

I've only had a female DM once, for a one-shot (and it was her first time--she did a great job), but I am a female DM, so maybe that counts too.

If you happen to give birth to a girl during the con, you could name her "Connie." (Or Connor, for a boy, of course.)
....just trying to help.
Never. I have gamed with a few women, though.
Indy would work for a boy. Plus you have the obvious Indiana Jones connection.
