Serious question cause you seem to know about this: why not? Why wouldn't women have that just like men do? I mean ancestry tests work for women too I assume
It has to do with the difference between tracking x and Y chromosomes. Ys pass mostly unchanged from father to son. If you believe in science then women don’t receive a Y chromosome. They can trace maternal lineage through mitochondrial tests but they don’t work the same way as a y-dna test.
Yeah, like ERansom said. Otherwise, there is Wikipedia: "Y-DNA is passed solely along the patrilineal line, from father to son, while mtDNA is passed down the matrilineal line, from mother to offspring of both sexes."

Neat. Thanks
