Female cats will spray for the same reasons as male cats, as other shave told you.
I only had troulbe with my cat (male, neutered early) twice: once when he got a urinary tract infection and wet his cat bed (I threw it out to prevent recurrences, because it is hard to get rid of the odor even with htose enzymatic urine cleaners), and once when a neighbor's male cate wanereded right up to the open window and caused a turf battle (my cat sprayed the window scren--again, I threw it out, and cleaned up thoroughly. I also didn't open that window until that other cat got tired of coming around.
I would recommend you take your time with the introduction of the new cat by keeping it in a separate room. Also, take a damp towel, rub it on your current cat's scent glands, and then rub the scented towel on the new one before they are phsyicall introcuded to one aother. This helped when I fostered kittens from different litters together.
