Did the Hakone Checkpoint prevent single women from leaving Edo?

Me and my fiancee were at Hakone a year ago and dropped by the checkpoint museum, and it was actually quite interesting to read through all of it, and we got to talking about it a week ago and she remembers reading about the checkpoint being strict about screening women, particularly single women, but we tried looking it up online but couldn't find any sources on it.

Wanted to check here if anyone could confirm or add anything about the strict screening of women in Hakone Sekisho.

Thanks in advance to anyone taking the time to answer.
