I don't know of any Baptist church that allows women preachers. They do not even allow women to teach Sunday school. Women are olny allowed to look after very small children in nurseries or maybe the very young children.

There's no doctrine against female ministers and the ordination of women is recognized, although the clergy is still overwhelmingly male, and some individual congregations do reject women as pastors.
