It's been a while since it was last advertised, but any women interested
in kernels, from the terror stage on up, might want to consider joining
the grrls-only mailing list at
http://mailman.linuxchix.org/mailman/listinfo/grrls-only since we have a
kernel mentor on that list (in fact, it might be a good place for this
question if noone can help you here - although there are lots of
knowledgable people here too ;) )

The courses on kernels are at
