I'm assuming you mean higher reps than a man who has the same goals.
Answer is no.

All of the above
 But to add to that, there was a lifter/trainer a few years back state that women's muscle fibres react slightly differently to those of a man and so we should be doing 1 rep more and 1 set more than what the male counterpart is doing. However, I never do, I just do what I do, it seems to work.

Men can't even find consensus about what consitutes a good set/rep scheme. I don't see women being any different.

^Agree, we just need to select the right weight for the right rep scheme, that's all, just like a man does.
