Fellow female here. I do a 5 minute warm up then strength training at the gym. I have 4 different workout days a week (push, pull, legs, glutes), and I’m at the gym for a little over an hour each time I go. Each workout has ~6 exercises with 3 sets each ◡̈

Sounds perfect.

How often do you want to be in the gym and for how long?

This is actually exactly what I do - two upper body days and two lower body days. Lower body days - I’d pick two quad focused movements (a squat and lunge variation) and two hamstring focused movements (deadlift and hip thrust/glute bridge variations) and do 3 sets of each exercise with 8-10 reps. Add smaller accessory movements (like glute kickbacks or the good girl/bad girl machines) as time and preferences allow.
For upper body days, pick one or two two back movements (lat pull down, rows, pull-ups, etc) one shoulder movement (lateral or front raises, shoulder press) one bicep/curl variation movement, one tricep movement (dips or presses) and one chest movement (barbell or dumbbell chest press, push-ups). Again do 3 sets of 6-10.
Make sure you stretch after and eat lots of protein to help recovery.

another option if
1) you’re a beginner
2) you want to work out at home
3) you only have dumbbells
I do this at home and it’s great for me.
