Who were the female smurfs?

Thanks! What about Granny Smurf though? I looked in the IMDB list & it lists a Granny?

"God will never give you anything you can't handle, so don't stress."

Where did Nanny Smurf come from, if Smurfette and Sassette were artificial female smurfs?

While the male smurfs can and will have a crush on Smurfette, there will be no sex within their society.
It is even so that baby smurfs will literally be delivered to the village by the stork!
Really, the old masters of Belgian comics were forbidden to make even vague references to anything sexual.
And it was taken to silly extremes sometimes.
But that is also why André Franquin had to make the marsupilamis lay eggs even though they're mammals.
Afterwards, he came up with the official explanation that they're monotremes.
But it was originally because Franquin was forbidden by his publishers to portray a live birth!
You can argue that the smurfs and the marsupilamis are fantasy creatures and won't be fully realistic anyway.
And the comics were also primarily made for children in the beginning.
We have to remember also that the Catholic Church still had a lot of power in Belgium until relatively recently.
And yet, it is laughable in retrospect that it went this far.
But on the other hand, it is very possible that Peyo liked that he didn't have to give Baby Smurf a father.
This made it possible for the whole village to raise their future leader as a community.
And despite what most people think, Smurfette was never Baby's mother either.
Thus, she is free to remain innocent and not be more tied down to one male smurf than to another.
And as for Franquin and the marsupilamis, it is maybe a good thing that he didn't get to portray a live birth.
Other comics have solved the issue of a childbirth in a different way than having the mother lay eggs though.
Usually, they just keep the icky stuff off screen and don't show the baby until it's clean after the birth is over.
