staying up the whole night learning traditionally was only done by the greatest torah scholars. see the shlah’s description of the base yosef’s shavuos night. it is an american thing that so many men stay up and an even newer american thing that women do as well. no one has a problem with women learning its just interseting that this is one of the few mitzvos that are more relegated to the males and this is where some females choose to be active in. why not take something in which you are actually chayav and work on being mehadar it? as for the chafetz chaim alleged quote that women should indeed learn more to stay on the derech that would be as much as would be needed
