As others have mentioned, it is not optimal for you to specify female devs only within your job ad. A more productive approach is to write a straightforward ad[1], include your openness to a diverse workforce and widen your ad circulation by contacting organizations that contain high #s of underrepresented populations in tech[2][3].
[1]Interesting discussion on words that alienate people from underrepresented communities:

[2] You didn't mention your location, many online groups are global and may have members in your area. Most have mailing lists, so their admins can post your job ad. The "An incomplete list of women's tech communities" section of this site lists over 30 female tech groups:

[3] There are many related tech groups on Facebook too. You can search and message their admins about posting your ad. I also recommend searching and posting related questions on Twitter.
