yeah you use your tricep as a synergist in this but as for recomending it for women to tone/build tricep a much better suggestion would be simple bench dips these work all 3 heads i would only recommend the military press for deltoid workout.

It looks like it'd definitely give the triceps a great workout. When exercising my triceps, I grip a single dumbbell with both hands, place it behind my head, and extend my arms. Great workout!

The military press could arguably be the best shoulder exercise there is. Just make sure to practice care and regularity in doing this Bodybuilding shoulder exercise.

it is more focused upon the anterior deltoid as previously stated, the triceps are a contributory synergist and more effective in the eccentric phase of the movement. If the 'bingo-wings', how about performing a combination of tricep kick-backs, partial press-ups (narrow arm), bench dips (full & partial range) and/or tricep press-downs (using a cable cross or lat-pull down).
