High reps are initially good for cardio-respiratory fitness and tendon strength but again another myth to kill ...
women respond very well to maintaining muscle mass by using heavy weights as long as it is safely and with good form. Women VERY VERY rarely gain significant muscle size with heavy weight training due to having estrogen as a primary sex hormone and this type of loading regimen does not favour hypertrophy.
