With v4, you have to add the namespace as the prefix and surround the value with the single quote such as http://services.odata.org/V4/(S(m1bhpaebr1yvzx5vtz5v4ur1))/TripPinServiceRW/People?$filter=Gender%20eq%20Microsoft.OData.SampleService.Models.TripPin.PersonGender'1' , where 1 represents Female.

Here is a quotation from the ABNF of the protocol http://docs.oasis-open.org/odata/odata/v4.0/os/abnf/odata-abnf-construction-rules.txt:

enum            = qualifiedEnumTypeName SQUOTE enumValue SQUOTE
enumValue       = singleEnumValue *( COMMA singleEnumValue )
singleEnumValue = enumerationMember / enumMemberValue
enumMemberValue = int64Value
