No it wasn't, I know Adam Ruins Everything claimed Ms. Pac-Man was "Made to appeal to women who loved Pac-Man more than guys!"
But the real story is that someone made a bootleg, and it was popular, so Namco paid them for it. Namco doesn't actually own the Ms. Pac-Man character or game and doesn't use her today for this reason.
