For your granddaughter I think Kathy Valentine is a good example of a (guitarist turned) bassist who was a important contributor to the first all-female band to win a Grammy.

Laura Love.
I discovered her on The Jazz Channel back in mid 2000's.

No matter - if plays good it will do, still i think there are more good male bassists than female. Not quite an instrument for female.

I may be “mansplaining” but Eva Gardner has credibility as a successful side-person and is an independent artist.

...Yes, when I started in the late 70's there were very few of us; the bass was stereotyped as the province of the quiet guy with big hands standing in the shadows next to the drums. But a lot has changed.

It was this very stereotype that informed my idea of what a bass player’s role in a band situation was. I rather liked the idea of being invisible while standing in front of a crowd of people.
