There isn't any info to back up this claim. Since Obama was the last President lets just look at what women he had appointed:
Sec of State - Hillary Clinton
Attorney General - Loretta Lynch
Sec of Interior - Sally Jewell
Sec of Commerce - Penny Pritzker
Sec of Labor - Hilda Solis
Sec of HHS - Kathleen Sebelius & Sylvia Burwell
Sec of Homeland - Janet Napolitano
UN Ambassador - Susan Rice & Samantha Powers
EPA - Lisa Jackson
Chair Council of Economic Advisers - Christina Romer
Small Business Administration - Karen Mills & Maria Contreras-Sweet

That is just at the Cabinet and Sub-Cabinet level, not even down to assistants and associates. Based off the list the Hill.com provided Obama hired more high level women than President Trump has so far.

If this was snopes.com I would say that claim if FALSE.

Actually, I believe this para explains it:

"The organization never published a follow-up story in the same way touting the roles that women impressively took on within the administration. Instead, they chose to focus on the inane differences of “inner-cabinet” members (those in line of succession to the presidency) versus other cabinet members, rather than looking at the wide-sweeping empowerment and hiring of women across the entire White House operation."

Perhaps Trump prefers female secretaries...and I don't mean of State. In all seriousness, I think it is a good thing women have more of a presence in the White House, regardless of their position. I support putting the best folks available in key positions, sex should not be a determinate.

snopes.com is well, umm sketchy? But that's just my opinion. Perhaps they need to rate this Daily Mail piece:

I agree it is a good thing women have more opportunities to serve our country, especially in the white house and executive branch. I just hate when either side posts stuff like this that is not true just by a simple fact check. It's annoying and doesn't serve a purpose except to get the far left and right leaner all riled up.

Snopes wasn't my first choice, but I could not remember the simple name factcheck.org.
