One Piece has many powerful female characters, but few of them are of Yonko level.
Judging Shanks' strength compared to other Yonko
All in Yonko a piece The world is incredibly powerful, but in the current era, Shanks is clearly stronger. This is because none of the other Yonkos are at their peak right now. Buggy is an outlier as he doesn't have the ability to live anywhere near Yonko. Luffy, on the other hand, despite being strong, suffers from many weaknesses. His Gear 5 doesn't last long, and his Haki is obviously nowhere near Shanks' level, so it's impossible for him to be stronger than the red-haired Yonko.
Blackbeard is the closest thing to Shanks right now, but he's not at the peak of his powers either, as he confirmed to himself. His quest for powerful Devil Fruits continues, which means he wants more strength before facing off against the other emperors and taking over the world. Shanks is clearly the strongest of the Yonko ranks and will continue to dominate the final saga.
