As other anons have mentioned, it is a bonding behavior. It is not because they were taken too early or just because they are female.
Forehead-rubbing is roughly equal to a "knuckle pound" between humans. It's like saying "Sup, buddy!". It's a greeting that shows affection. Watch any discovery channel show about lions and you will see it numerous times.
The rubbing repeatedly is more of a marking and affection act than greeting. Its like a good cuddle or hugging for humans. As anon mentioned, cat's heads have numerous scent glands, and by rubbing her head around on your hand, she is not only affirming her affection for her (and your tolerance says you like her too) but she is making sure any other cat you pet knows you are her best friend.
