Hi
well first of all regardless of the fact that all your cats are indoor only cats it would be in their interests to still be spayed.

there are health benefits to being spayed as well as the obvious not accidentally getting out and becoming pregnant. it also lets them lead a more relaxed and happy life.

It si not surprising that she is aggressive if she is living in a house full of other un-spayed female cats. the hormones rushing around and the scent this will have will make your cat feel threatened all the time.

I have a page about the health benefits of having your cat spayed which you may find of further interest here

On top of having her spayed you could also try some of the cat calming medications or sprays available. Aggression is often a sign of fear. This page has some information about these treatments.
