Reason for feminine word ending

Brian E.C1Kwiziq Q&A regular contributor

Hi, in “Curieuse de nature, je m'y étais aventurée !”, is “curieuse” in its feminine form (as opposed to the masculine “curieux”) because the speaker is female? Am I right in thinking that this is not influenced at all by the female word “nature”?

This question relates to:French dictation exercise "A cooperative of artisans"
