I am willing to grant Lalasa as an exception, personally, because she fights solely in self-defense, and what we see tends to be the "break their hold and run away" method of self-defense, which I personally do not think of as fighting. I don't think that one has to be able to defend oneself to be a good person, but I also don't put minimal, reluctant self-defense in the same category as fighting bandits. Lalasa does not have the mentality of a fighter; she does not want to fight, and never would if no one attacked her.
since we never see Kara and Kourrem as shamans on their own, I don't think we ever see them fight.
Actually, we do--they help Alanna fight off a hillman attack with magic. They may not fight physically with weapons, but they certainly do with magic.
There are a few other extremely minor non-fighting women (e.g. Cythera), but we have even less characterization for them than for Adalia and Oranie.
