The Curt Premium 5-Bike Rack # C18065 will allow most rear hatches to open when the bikes are unloaded and you tilt it, so long as the hatch goes upwards, like in the accompanying photo.

In regards to a women's bike, child's bike or those with a step-through frame, the Curt rack can absolutely carry those, but as with all hanging bike racks it will require the use of an adapter to provide a horizontal mounting point for the bikes to be carried. For that you will need the Bike Frame Adapter Bar # HRBA-PRO.

I have added links to video reviews for you to check out of both the Adapter Bar and the Curt Premium 5-Bike Rack # C18065.
