It took me over two years of training REALLY HARD to get up to 25 pounds a side. And I still can't do long sets with them - I do 5 sets of 5, and I can barely get through the 5th set - I have to cheat toward the end (I bump my elbow with my knee - sort of a self-spot). I havn't seen another woman at my gym lift even close to this, and some of the smaller guys are only curling 20s, so I think the 25s are pretty heavy for a woman to curl. You'll get there, but give it time.
(note: my 25s are 27.5 - they don't count the bar in the middle, but I weighed them, and it's there...)
If you can do your sets with good form using the 15s, you'll be doing really, really well.
