Why are you learning to code? To find a job as a programmer? Because you think it will help you at your current job? Because you are looking for a new challenge? Do you have something in mind that requires coding?
If you don't know anything about programming, I would recommend you "learn python the hard way" ( http://learnpythonthehardway.org/ ) to get yourself familiar with Python, a programming language popular and easy to learn, and then start whatever you are interested in.
One more thing, why are you mentioning that you're a woman? I believe tech is a field where it shouldn't matter (I would matter more that you are a woman if you were asking, say, how to use a body building machine).
