This is a fabulous feat. Those trimarans are fantastically fast and it must require supreme concentration to keep them going at top speed, day after day, avoiding icebergs, whales, etc - and keeping to schedule
I'm sure that Ellen has inspired many women to take up sailing. And, in my experience, sex makes no difference in results of races - our, mostly male, crew is regularly beaten by all women crews, boats with female helms, bowmen, tacticians, etc
And the female crews do it all whilst still looking good
