The, uh, lack of scissors and modern grooming facilities meant that most male warriors had what we would consider long hair back then, too. And beards. Though you're right in that it was generally shoulder-length and tied back or braided, as opposed to waist-length and loose.

When people are fighting with weapons, exposing an arm to a blade just for the chance to yank someone's hair is a lot less practical than you'd think. Physics being what they are, the tip of a lever moves a lot faster than your arm will.

But if you're desperate for short-haired feminine types, there's Min from the Wheel of Time series. (Jordan, I think, thinks he's writing a tomboyish/mascline character in her case, but he isn't even remotely, and drops all pretense the second she falls in love with the protagonist.)
