My friend, Gretchen, commented yesterday that she loved the deadlifting idea, but chin ups were a bit more challenging. This is the case for many women since they tend to carry the majority of their weight below their hips. Even strong women have trouble since their muscular development of their lats does not overcome this drag.
I did find an excellent article that helps women develop their pull up prowess. Give it a try and let me know how it works for you.
As for the deadlift, women should use no more than TWO THIRDS of their body weight. Sorry for the confusion.
