If you look on Colorado's Parks & Wildlife website (see main page and Hunter's Safety links below), you can find out a lot of information. There's lots of info on this website and all through the internet as well as books, etc. If you check with the NRA (National Rifle Association), they have a women's hunting group as well. Hopefully this gives you some places to start.
