Mmmm... I don't think our girls do such things, hehe. Now, being serious, I don't think there is a standard term to say that in Spanish. Each country or region may or may not have a term or a slang for it, but nothing as generalized and standard as in English. Maybe it is a cultural thing, I don't know. I'll think about it, but whatever I come up with, it is likely to be only in use in Spain.
Of course, our "girls" also go out alone every now and then, but not in the ritualistic manner that can be observed in some English speaking countries, which may explain the lack of a term to describe such thing.
By the way, I think you meant to say "girls' night".

Ponerse a + infinitive = to start doing something
Me puse a llorar. Me puse a pensar.
The preposition "a" is not optional. The construction, if you are interested, is called a periphrasis. Spanish has dozens of them.
Echar de menos = to miss (someone)
