I think you are absolutely right! my research also leads me to the same conclusion.

Female victims of gibbeting were rare; since female corpses were in high demand from surgeons and anatomists, female criminals were always dissected rather than gibbeted. From 1750-1832, corpses were in high demand at medical schools and by surgeons conducting research. We do know that female bodies were highly sought-after by the surgeons and that this added value or demand may have swayed the decision to dissect rather than hang in chains.

Public humiliation of condemned inmate Sandra

Sandra was awoken early the next day by two guards.
“Strip inmate, you won't need that ugly jumpsuit when you are hanging from the wall of shame.”
After surrendering her clothes Sandra was escorted with some other poor inmates through the underground tunnels between the holding cells in the basement of the court of justice to the wall of shame.
Once there she was crammed into one of the human formed cages.

“You will now be displayed from the wall of shame. From there all the citizens of Chandra will be able to see you and they will know what a little pathetic piece of shit you are.
When you are hanging there I want you to think about your deeds and what will become of you now. Becuase you will have time to think about that. You will hang from the wall for 72 hours and I hope you will enjoy every minute of it. You will have a good view of the daily executions from there and notice well because soon it will be your time down there.”
“Very well enough talk, hoist this whore down!”

The hours crept as Sandra was hanging in her cage. The sun rose on the sky ans more people began to gather at the square below.
“Citizen of Chandar!Behold the criminals on the wall. They have broken the laws of our beloved empress Chandra. They serve as an example of what happens if you disobey the laws.”
“Sandra Melinor, convicted criminal. Convicted of desecrating the name of our beloved empress. Because of this she have lost her right to live and will be executed with the garrote!”

After spending three days on the wall of shame, Sandras cage was finally hoisted up from the wall.
Sandra was tired, hungry and felt very humiliated.

“I hope you enjoyed your time on the wall criminal bitch. But we are not done with you yet. Now it is time for you to be taken down to the northern square where you will be placed in pillory.”

Isabella MacDuff, Countess of Buchan (Born c.1285 – Died likely c.1313–14)

Claim to Fame: A Scottish patriot, she defied her husband, crowned the Scottish king and spent four years in a cage hanging from Berwick castle

Isabella (or Isabel) was a significant figure in the Wars of Scottish Independence. Born into an important family she was married to John Comyn, Earl of Buchan.

After his cousin was murdered by Robert the Bruce, Isabella’s husband turned against Bruce and joined the English side. Isabella defied her husband and raced to Scone, re-crowning the Bruce as tradition dictated that legitimate Scottish monarchs must be crowned by a MacDuff.

Isabella was captured along with Mary Bruce (a sister of Robert), Christina Bruce (a sister of Robert), Marjorie Bruce (the daughter of Robert), Elizabeth de Burgh (the second wife of Robert) by the English in 1306. Edward threatened to hang Robert’s 9 year old daughter, Marjorie, in a cage outside the Tower of London, but relented because of her age. She was sent to Watton Priory. He saved the cage for Robert’s sister, Mary, and Isabel. Because Isabel was a rebellious wife and legitimized Robert’s coronation, she was forced to live in a cage hung outside Berwick Castle. Edward I of England ordered Isabella to be “closely confined in an abode of stone and iron… and let her be hung up out of doors in the open air at Berwick, that both in life and after her death, she may be a spectacle and eternal reproach to travellers.”

It was a cage made of lattice wood and iron hinges, and she was completely exposed to the elements where she could be seen in pain if not penitence by those approaching from miles around.. There was a toilet bucket for the lady to relieve herself so shedind't have to defecate on her own feet. However, she was forced to be out in all weathers and on display for all to see, but not allowed to speak to anyone except the two women that fed her., if she tried to speak to anyone one else she would be beaten. Mary was hung in a similar cage outside Roxburgh Castle.

Isabella, Christina Bruce, and Elizabeth de Burgh had been reduced to an exhibit half-starved and in rags to be gawped at and jeered by passers-by.

As ordered, Isabella was suspended from Berwick Castle in a cage for at least four years, exposed to the Scottish elements and forbidden to speak to anyone. Much to everyone’s surprise exposed as she was to the elements and the extremes of heat and cold Isabella survived her ordeal and in 1310 was removed from her cage and held in a Carmelite Convent before being taken to London where Edward II (the old King had died in July 1307) despite being impressed by her fortitude ignored pleas to release her from captivity.

She was moved to a friary in 1310 to prevent her from dying so she could be used as a hostage in exchange for captured English nobleman. Another transfer is mentioned in 1313 but as she is not mentioned in the post-Bannockburn trade of prisoners in 1314 it is believed that she died before that date.

Pictures 3 and 4 remind me of the unfortunate woman in this real-life story:

Alice Tankerville was “hanged in chains at low water mark upon the Thames on Tuesday. John Bawd is in Little Ease cell in the Tower and is to be racked and hanged.”

A short story- Margaret Croke

Margaret Croke in 1809 became a pirate not on purpose. She was on a ship with her three young daughters. And her husband thought that the family was going to be sent to a debtors' prison. So he killed two crewmen and threw the Captain overboard, then commandeering the vessel. The Captain survived and was able to testify that Margaret hit him when her husband was fighting the Captain. Another crew member testified that Margaret was actually afraid of her husband and attempted to escape. But unfortunately both were accused of piracy. Margaret shouted desperately to the judge, “The lord have mercy on me! What will my poor children do!?”
