There is a lot of confusion about who the first female Captain in Star Trek was, but despite misinformation, it wasn't Janeway or even Batel.

Star Trek's first female Captain is a complicated issue, with different answers depending on how it's viewed.
Captain Hernandez from Star Trek: Enterprise was the first female Captain chronologically in the Star Trek universe.
The confusion arises from how Captain Janeway was advertised, leading to her being most closely associated with the title.
