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.

You can go here and look:
http://wikichix.org/wiki/WikiChix
But you also can't access that. The funny thing is that I'm am member on
the list but I'm not a member on the website and a you can't join unless you
state you are a woman in your application.
Again, I haven't been able to access the archives since I've been a member,
and I've never seen a post. I think it's been circumvented with the creation
of this mailing list. I joined the list out of curiosity when the "gender
gap storm" struck to see if anything was taking place.
Angela is still an active editor, I just spoke to her recently.
