Sounds like a great initiative, @sarahfrantz. Quite a few great female web professionals hang around here, so I hope you get some takers. Unfortunately, I don’t qualify. 
It’s easy to miss the importance of that. I had an experience of it in my “last life”—when I was training to be a primary school teacher. It’s a heavily female-dominated profession, and I was lucky to have a lot of brilliant teachers to learn from during my training … except that I felt pretty inferior to them, as I couldn’t imagine being able to do what they were doing. I just didn’t fit in. It wasn’t until I got to spend some time with a male teacher that I realized there was another way to do things—one that I understood and could relate to.
The web design world is heavily male-dominated, so I can imagine that females trying to get into it might feel really out of place without role models, approaches and resources that they can relate to.
I wish you every success! And glad you like the new forums.
