This could be a nod the A-Force comic-book series, where it features an all-female Avengers line-up. It even featured Captain Marvel at some point.
A-Force was an ongoing comic book series published by Marvel Comics that debuted in May 2015 as a part of Marvel's "Secret Wars" crossover storyline. The series, created by writers G. Willow Wilson and Marguerite Bennett and artist Jorge Molina, features Marvel's first all-female team of Avengers. The team first appeared as part of an alternate universe during "Secret Wars" but later reemerged in Marvel's primary continuity. A-Force ended in October 2016 due to poor sales despite favorable reviews from critics and was described as being "decidedly feminist".
But as @Paulie_D and the other answers said, it could just be a nice bit of fan-service and female empowerment from the creators.
