I recently came across something on this subject.

A new edition of the Vulgate was begun some time ago, I think around the
WWI timeframe.  The Catholic encyclopedia has an article on the subject,
if I remember right.  They were examining manuscripts all over Europe in
an effort to determine more precisely what St. Jerome's original said.

The neo-vulgate was published a few years back, and one of the changes
was in the Genesis passage we're talking about; the feminine pronoun in
question was changed to masculine.
