Kathleen Stewart and Mari Cathcart are two named female characters, but they never talk to each other.

Some maids talk (at 1 hr 20) to each other, about another maid, but I don't think either are named.

Kathleen talks to Mrs Schwartz (she runs a cafe) at around 30 minutes in, but only to ask for a coffee, so I don't think that counts.

There's one moment (around 47-48 minutes in), where a woman says that Hardy doesn't like sentiment, in response to something he says. She seems to be directing her comment to a woman, but I'm not clear if either is named, and it is only a single line, so I don't think it counts anyway.
