Female street cat trying to help her…

So I am an expat living outside the US. There are many street cats I feed. I have a little team that I call “mine.” I feed them every day. One of them is actually mine. I neutered him, he comes to my apartment. He is mine, there are two other male cats and they are also neutered by someone lol. Well, there is the one little female kitten that has joined the crew and she is a tortie. I know tortie’s are known for their “tude” but she is the sweetest.I really want to try to help her and spay her from all the future hardships from all the other ruthless male cats, however I am wondering if I spay her will she still be attacked? I can not keep her in my apartment so she would be back outside. I never had a female cat or dealt with one and I just hate that she will still be assaulted like I see all other female cats. It’s heartbreaking. I will spay her for sure. I just am curious how do spayed female cats manage? Thank you.
