The reason you can't find the archives is that it is a non-archiving list,
and there are none.

I too have been a member of this list for many years. It is used
infrequently, and I believe its intention was to draw issues of interest to
women editors to their attention, and to provide support to women who were
encountering onwiki challenges; however, my overall impression is that at
least for the last few years it has not been terribly active. There's no
blame associated with that statement: many of the women on the list spend
much of their wiki-time focusing on broader issues, and it's easy to forget
posting to a smaller list when one is active on multiple other lists, or is
busy working in a particular area that doesn't appear to be particularly
interesting to women as a group.


As I recall, there was also some debate a while back about whether or not
trans women should be included in the list that created some dissent.
Ultimately, I believe it was decided they could participate; in fact, my
introduction to the list was from a trans woman.
