Why is 'women programmers' or equivalent the 'in' or PC thing to say? It doesn't make sense, 'women' is a plural noun; here it's used adjectivally. I've never read 'men <noun>' by anyone literate.
Two _female_ programmers.
Or hey, as another commenter points out, who gives a shit that they're women? You don't achieve the (presumed) goal of it being unremarkable whether a programmer is male or female by remarking on it every time one is female.
