As you're learning J, you should already have come across one of them: 
Linda Alvord co-authored "Easy J" 
(http://www.jsoftware.com/books/pdf/easyj.pdf) and posts ever so often 
in the forums.

Other women you will find as you browse/read through the forum archives 
(http://www.jsoftware.com/forumsearch).  I find the Programming Forum 
to be most valuable.  If you want to read all messages within a given 
time frame (say, a certain month), just leave the search boxes blank, 
click the "Return messages posted between" radio button, and and set 
your dates.

You really need to do these things if you want to learn J.  As a 
relative newbie myself (and, like you, no spring chicken), I have found 
reading the archives to be a most valuable part of the J learning 
process.  Besides the J programming knowledge acquired, you also get to 
"meet" and "know" the people here, both men and women.
